Also, do y'all call main() in the if block or do you just put the code you want to run in the if block?

It really doesn't. It's a scripting language, functions are there but at it's core it runs a script. The issue is that it was so easy to start with that people started doing everything in it, even though it sucks for anything past complex scripts

It is the excel of databases.

What's the difference between a "scripting" language and a "real" one?

I didn't say it wasn't real, it's just a scripting structure and not object oriented, so it doesn't make sense for it to start by looking for a "main" object
