There is recently an increased interest to ease the learning curve of Java for students on Day 1 of class. Brian Goetz<\/a> (the architect of Java) made a proposal<\/a> to eliminate some code. My proposition is a (independent) continuation to ease the learning of Java.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(\"Hello World\");
