You can write procedural or functional style as well, and with top-level statement you can write without any OOP or boilerplate whatsoever.

Trying to write it as if it was a different language instead or, for whatever reason, copying the worst style a team could come up with does happen and must be avoided, but that’s user error and not a language issue. Also the tooling, especially CLI, is excellent and on par with what you find in Rust, far ahead of Java and C++.

If you link an example snippet of the type of code that gave you pause, I’m sure there is a better and more idiomatic way to write it.

I have the same issues with JVM-like languages, like Java. I only write Java if I am getting financially compensated for it!
