This article really complicates a simple concept: EVERY program needs a main(). Period. Whether it is called "main()" or ".ORG", or it is just an address given to a linker map, or simply a hex address in a BIOS boot sequence. There is no avoiding it: one instruction must come first. Python, Perl, Ruby, Bash and every other scripted interpreted language IMPLICITLY wraps "main" around your program based on the context, otherwise it wouldn't know where to start. I find this article obfuscating a simple point. EDIT: When I say .ORG, I'm referring to the standard assembly language designation for "execute this instruction first", and not ICANN. ;)
