It's not even a stupid line of code - it's just a line of code which happens to namespace things which most other languages don't.
System is a global object which handles various pieces of the runtime system. One variable on this object is `out` (of type PrintStream) which represents stdout. The `println` method of PrintStream actually does the work.
I get why this seems overly verbose in comparison to Python and similar languages, but I don't think it's stupid. It's just emphasizing explicitness and uniformity over brevity.
