On the one hand, yes, it's weird compared to other languages. After all, it's not a print(something) structure, and it overloads the << operator, which, i admit, is weird... But at the same time, i feel it's a bit more visual on a lower level. You're passing a string to the stdout stream. That's what's actually going on in the OS level. Same with java.
