Indeed. Like what's the first thing you need to learn to even get a simple program running: that there has to be a class with at method. Insane garbage!

A language like C is already bad because there has to be a function before anything is done, instead of just a sequence of instructions to the machine to do something.

Imagine you told me "can you go to the cupboard and fetch the sugar?" and I said, "Nope: you must wrap that in an instruction sheet called "main", and then ask me to compile and execute it".
