Trying to discourage the use of a language because of `public static void main` is as absurd as trying to sell a language because it lets you write `println("hello world")`.

Don't believe anybody who uses either of these tactics.

Discouraging the use of a language, and discouraging the choice of a certain language as the first language non-programmers are exposed to are two very different things.
