Here's some advice from a very experienced programmer: become a very experienced programmer. When you are comfortable with the freedoms a dynamic environment gives you and know how to use them appropriately, you can perform miracles in a short time. I like Java a lot, but boy does the boilerplate get in your way. When you start writing a feature, you have to produce 2000 lines of code *before writing a single statement*! That's why experienced Java programmers tend to resort to code generators. I'm saying a language has a serious issue if you need a code generator to use it.
