The example they give later in the article is also pretty verbose and includes much more "magic" than Java
Example:
import antigravity
def main():
antigravity.fly()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
I would argue that there is nothing simple about the last if-statement and will probably be very confusing for new developers.

The only thing that isn’t perfectly straightforward is “what is __name__”, but once you know how __name__ is defined… OTOH, that example is much more complicated than needed. As a simple executable script, that would do the same thing if antigravity. Fly() actually did anything, all that is needed is: import antigravity antigravity.fly() The rest is unnecessary boilerplate to provide a module that can operate either as a library or a script, which is superfluous here. Moreover, since the actual functionality it is demonstrating is all in an import hook, all you actually need (the rest just produces an error message) is: import antigravity
