Still better than having to create a new class just to implement

public static void main(String[] args) {}

Since Java 21, this has been shortened significantly. https://www.baeldung.com/java-21-unnamed-class-instance-main

I know right? It even has var with implicit typing now. While I prefer Kotlin any day, there's been quite a few qol improvements to Java over the last few years.
