Is hello world’ a minimal program? Yes

Are all minimal programs ‘hello world’? No.

Hello world is a straw man introduced by you - not the commenter I was relying to.

As I pointed out, even if we consider hello world, the proposition is still not true - it’s not easier on a TI-89.

So what do we have in summary? You spoiled the discussion by introducing personal attacks, your argument is a straw man, and even the straw man version is simply not true.

You made several falsifiable claims that don't hold up, and you handled this by (a) editing your comment in a way that materially changed those claims (removed them and then in their place moved forward with a different argument that is necessarily at odds with what you originally wrote and removed), and (b) in the case of your most recent comment (when it was too late to edit the earlier), you ignored the straightforward questions put to you that, if answered, would refute concretely things you claimed about who said what when—an already ridiculous change of subject even more doomed than the original unnecessarily adversarial argument about the barriers that exist to write a program.

It's clear at this point that you don't actually stand behind anything—you are not committed to any actual position, or facts; you are only committed to the act of arguing. If there was any doubt about whether you were here to pick a fight, that has been erased. There is no reason to believe that you're responding in good faith, and there is no way to justify engaging with you further.

You responded to my edit previously. You are bringing it up again instead of responding to my comment.

This doesn’t change anything about the discussion or explain why you keep leveling personal attacks and accusations.

You can plainly see what’s written, and complaining about an edit has nothing to do with the points I made.

Let’s consider again what we have in summary: You spoiled the discussion by introducing personal attacks for reasons that are not clear, your argument is a straw man, and even the straw man version is simply not true.
