I don't mean to get into a language war here. the point here isn't that bad names make java into a poor language. My point is that the lower-level details the author is seeing are not due to java's verbosity. They're due to java being a lower level language than php.
though to respond to your assertion, I actually think @floppydisk got to my point in a much quicker manner than I could. I don't think I'd need to express such a thing in a more expressive language. I'm not talking about the naming convention, I'm talking about how Java forces you into a version of OOP that requires you to use a litany of "design patterns" get anything done. A more expressive language would be able to capture the same idea without the litany of java classes, interfaces, and generics that come with java.
