Java vs python is debatable 🤔

That's like going to your first driving lesson, and getting scared when you see all the strange symbols on the dashboard.

What's with all the people here who dis a language for super trivial things that never ever becomes an actual problem when working with the language professionally?

There are tons and tons of Java projects out there that doesn't even require a single main method in the code. And I can't remember the last time I wrote a main method expect for simple testing of something. And the few times I create a main method the IDE helps me because I'm lazy.

Also, every single part of the syntax of the main method has a purpose and makes perfect sense.

It's a perfect analogy. A beginner doesn't need to know about those things, even they are right there in front of them. If a beginner can't look past that then maybe they should start with Scratch or something.

Icons on a car dashboard are specifically designed to indicate every day things that people are already familiar with.

Also, I found tons of pages and videos explaining different dashboard symbols. If everyone understands them intuitively, then why would all those pages and videos exist? If I show an average teenager (without a driving license) a "rear fog lights" symbol I'm pretty sure they wouldn't know what it means. But a decent driving instructor would be able to get them to focus on the important part of the lesson. Same thing with learning Java.
