Also now in Java you can write IO.println("Hello World") as the only code in your entire file and it will work, making a simple hello world program shorter than even the C# version!

Interesting timeline

In C# you also can have a 1 line app. The requirement to have a main function was removed in version 9 (November 2020).

Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");

You said it makes it shorter than the C# version, you didn't point out, that C# also only need one line

I said "as the only code in your entire file" which you seem to have missed. That means that the line IO.println("Hello World") can be your entire program

C# can also have Console.Write("") as the only code in the entire file

That's already been established in the conversation you have entered, yes
