It feels like some arcane spell when you first learn it, but once you are familiar with Java, each token in that declaration feels totally justified. Like yeah, the args are an array of strings. Yeah, the main function needs to be static and public. Yeah, it doesn't return anything inside the JVM, so it's void.
