What this program does is run with two threads, one sleeping in a
loop and one waiting for the other thread to end. If you're
starting a thread so that you can call Thread.sleep in it, that's
not necessary. You could just rename `threadFunc` to `main` here,
and of course get rid of the original main(), and it'd work.
