Do you think real people will get confused and think the only way to write hello world in bog is using a variable ?

Or do you think most people will automatically adjust and think "hello world in itself doesn't show much, so the author decided to include something more informative and keep call that hello world" ?

I think he shouldn‘t have called it a Hello World if its purpose is to showcase a language feature instead of serving as an actual Hello World.
Obviously the examples in a README for a programming language are going to showcase said language's features.
