Since Julia’s most recent release (1.11) it seems the de-facto way to write a main (entrypoint function) is
function (@main)(args)
println("hello world")
end
Why the parenthesis around @main?
Not that it matters, I’m just curious.

Because @main is not supposed to be applied to args, it just returns the main symbol as if you had written function main plus some behind the scenes bookkeeping
