I wonder how many people on hn can code hello world.

I'd think most.

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.

The php example made me chuckle.

Thanks.

As much as I hate the language, it's a great example of the absurdist pragmatism that has made it so popular.
