JEP 445: Unnamed Classes and Instance Main Methods - don not move forward!

[Arne Styve]

I recently came across this JEP, and was very surprised. Why on earth should you add features to a professional programming language just to apparently make it a bit easier for students and beginners to learn to code? And especially when the suggested feature has no real use (and cannot be used) once you learn to program OOP properly?

I’ve been a SW-developer and manager for more than 20 years, and a teacher of OOP at University for 15 years, and have never, ever experienced that the public static void main(String[] args) have been remotely problematic for students in learning to program.

Please have this JEP terminated.
