And most IDEs will autogenerate it for you.

That said, I think it highlights everything I hate about Java:

public class MyClass {

Why does it need to be a class? I'm not constructing anything?

public static void main(String[] args) {

Why is this a method? It should be a top-level function. Also, in most cases, I don't care about the arguments, so those should be left out.

System.out.println("Hello world!");

Excuse me, what? Where did System come from, and why does it have an "out" static member? Also, how would I format it if I felt so inclined? So many questions.

And here are examples from languages I prefer:

C:

#include "stdio.h"

Ok, makes sense, I start with nothing.

int main() {

Makes sense that we'd have an entrypoint.

printf("Hello world");

Again, pretty simple.

Python:

print("Hello world")

Ok, Python cheats.

Rust:

fn main() {

Ooh, entrypoint.

println!("Hello world");

I have to understand macros enough to realize this is special, but that's it.

In C, Python, and Rust, complexity starts later, whereas Java shoves it down your throat.

Some of us try to understand what we're doing, rather than just copy/paste. It's easy to discount how difficult learning the basics of something is when you're already past it.

Don't be mad, you're the one that commented lol. It's like you're choosing to be upset
