Java multiple classes

     tuna tunaObject = new tuna();


Someone care to explain why you need to type "tuna" at the beginning and "tuna()" at the end if you already stated that you're going to use the tuna class at the beggining?
I think I understand the "tunaObject" is(the variable to which you will assign the new class in the main class, right?), but the "new" is still kind of ... I don't understand it either...

In Java and C++ you have to repeat the type name umpteen times to get anything done, because this is 1960's technology.

The compiler is like a retarded child that needs constant guidance through verbal repetition and reminding.

This garbage is behind the state of the art in static type systems by 40 years.
