That test.main method is not static, does not have return type void, and
does not take an argument of type String[].

Try something like

((main args::String[])::void allocation: ‘static (display “hello”)
(newline))


Or just put statements at the top level and not inside a
define-simple-class, and let the module itself be the main. The simplest
hello world is a file with nothing but (display “hello”), run with kawa -f
test.scm (or maybe just kawa test.scm without the -f, I don’t have my
computer handy right now).
