Discussion on: Things wrong with Java

[Scott Reno]

Don't forget that's it's very verbose

[Karl Heinz Marbaise]

In which way? Do you have examples?

[Mamoor Jaan Khan]

Yeah true. Write tons of Java for a simple "Hello World." Frustrating

[Karl Heinz Marbaise]

Really? Tons?

interface Main {
   static void main(String[] args) {
     System.out.println("Hello World");
  }
}

Is that short enough? Apart from that how many times do you write that?

With JDK21 there is a preview to make that even more shorter (openjdk.org/jeps/445) like this:

void main() {
    System.out.println("Hello, World!");
}

Apart from that, is that really important?
