Exactly what is the point of a Java practice application that's solution has no resemblance to Java code?

in what way does it not look like java, besides the lack of boilerplate public static void main? It's actually compiling java code.

It hides the static import of System.out. Static imports, while useful, should not be introduced as standard code convention in this kind of scenario (beginner-oriented practice).

Sure, it makes the code look nice, but you are going to have people copy and paste this code and wonder why it doesn't compile.

Makes me think of Ruby and JS practice applications but that just seems strange to me to use in Java...
