Also, do y'all call main() in the if block or do you just put the code you want to run in the if block?

Still better than having to create a new class just to implement

public static void main(String[] args) {}

Since Java 21, this has been shortened significantly. https://www.baeldung.com/java-21-unnamed-class-instance-main
