What does Java's supposed verbosity have to do with the comment you replied to about learning JavaScript?

On an unrelated note, main in python is not a whole lot better. By the time you get through __name__ == "__main__", import sys and use sys.argv you're not really winning much over public static void main. The nice thing about python is that you don't have to start worryin about main since you can just run it as a script to start, which is definitely great for beginners, but that doesn't exactly justify the argument you were trying to make about the verbosity of Java.
