As "scala-cli" has "run" as a command, a beginner who has used the command "scala-cli run ." previous to reading this might mistakenly believe that "scala" also has the command "run". However, it doesn’t: "run" only refers to the main function in this example. It would therefore be more pedagogical if the main function was called something different (like "hi").

Thanks! Good idea! Next year hopefully scala-cli will be the new scala, but it still can be mixed up with the name of the sub-command conceptually.
