I wonder how many people on hn can code hello world.
I'm definitely not one of the more talented people here, but off the top of my head...
Python 3:
print('Hello, world!')
JS: console.log('Hello, world!')
Bash: echo 'Hello world!'
PHP: Hello, world!
C: #include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello, world!");
}
On my phone, so I couldn't swear they're perfect. Been a decade since I wrote any C, particularly.My point is just that Hello World is really easy.
As much as I hate the language, it's a great example of the absurdist pragmatism that has made it so popular.
