In Java I can create a Hello.java, compile it with javac Hello.java, and execute it with java Hello. On the Scala "Getting Stated" page https://docs.scala-lang.org/getting-started/index.html such scenario for Scala is not described. I didn't know Scala before and want to start learning it with this simple command line run. But what I see? SBT?! IDE?! These are not the steps I expected to see at my very start!

I think the information from https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/book/taste-hello-world.html may be added to the "Getting Started" page.

With 3.5.0 coming sbt won't be needed on the getting started page - the Scala command will be as powerful as Scala CLI so a rewrite based on that is probably best
