@tearvisus@TimPurdum@vrdhn still, having a class with method isn't too bad. Java has much worse problem with I/O. One of the first steps in learning is to take and process input. Console input is really unfriendly in Java plus due to checked exceptions it exposes newcimer to exception handling which a rather advanced topic.
IMO top level main is good step, but not the most valuable step they could make.
