Actually a nice feature.
This solves the public static void main string args issue.
Still if I need JVM then Scala or Kotlin are still preferable over Java.

That's so 2010. I would avoid Scala like plague. It is a soup of all features imagined and some more. Java is difficult for novice. With Scala even experienced senior devs can look into a snippet and be befuddled. It is designed by academicians who thought clever looking choice is better.
And the foothold in academics has some practical perks, too, like a sound type system (DOT calculus), compatibility guarantees at a theoretical level (TASTy), and what's cooking in the area of capture checking might be a general solution to many of the industry's biggest challenges (e.g. colorless asynchronous programming, safe errors, safe resource management, ... Think of Rust's borrow checker as a special case of this, and the consequences for scala-native as a systems programming platform).
That's just not true. That's the typelevel ecosystem. The official Scala toolkit mostly includes haoyi libraries which is pretty much Python like Scala.
I was/am always glad to pay that tax because non-null-by-default and the vastly superior val/var keyword pairs are totally worth it but it for sure is not a drop-in replacement in team environments. I am already constantly battling the vscoders (to say nothing of vimers) whining that "IJ is too slow for my eeee-leeeet typin'"
