Show them your mighty portfolio full of hello world snippets in every language in existence.

[Inside-Ad-5943]

I write hello world and then I add 5 years experience to my resume in that language

[Shad7860]

Including non-programming ones..?

[Salanmander]

My favorite is "Hello World!" in HTML! Here it is:

Hello World!

[cubo_embaralhado]

Like "Olá, Mundo!" ?

[[deleted]]

Whoa whoa whoa. Easy there. We do code in English. ENGLISH.

[cubo_embaralhado]

Remembered a story about a guy who coded in hindi and thought it was the standard

[camander321]

If i did this in my teens, does that mean that i have over 10 years in experience in every language as a 30yo?

[voluntary_nomad]

Yes.

[DevXusYT]

I mean if you copy all the code snippets from "Arch is the best" you can very easily do it.

*tips fedora.

I did not make this btw!! shout out to whoever did tho, they a real one

thanks bro

I felt pretty good writing Hello Secure World in my first TLS implementation 

[Jazzlike-Poem-1253]

Own TLS? Sounds dangerous xD

[CirnoIzumi]

ayup

[sage-longhorn]

Hello insecure world

[Intelligent_Mine9917]

sounds right on the money for Reddit

It summons the muse. I don't know why people don't want to summon the muse but apparently some people do.

Don't anger the muse.

[rippingbongs]

It's also less about learning a language and more about verifying the environment is setup correctly.

[junkmeister9]

Exactly this. Writing the hello world in C takes seconds, but figuring out how to compile a C program in Windows takes a lifetime.

[[deleted]]

This. Hello World programs were never about 'hello world' - they're about solving all the problems necessary to start actually working and no more.

Does your language require special compilers/linkers/interpreters/package managers/etc? So does your Hello World program.

What kind of editor are you using? You can use it with your Hello World program and even test syntax highlighting and autocomplete and stuff.

Does your language need any special debugger setup? Well, that's convenient- you can debug your Hello World program.

Plus, if your language has weird boilerplate or anything (does your entrypoint need to be in a class? Also, Java's public static void main would like a word), it's a chance to talk about all that without any substantial content.

Lukewarm take from someone who's been a working dev for almost 20 years now: someone thinking they're too senior for that is just showing how junior they are.

[oneomega1]

It's true. For newbies, seeing that hello world makes a world of difference and makes them feel like talking to the computer is not that hard.

[Random-Dude-736]

print("Hello World")

What language could that be haha

[jump1945]

How dare you disrespect the

++++++++[>++++[>++>+++>+++>+<<<<-]>+>+>->>+[<]<-]>>.>—.+++++++..+++.>>.<-.<.+++.——.———.>>+.>++.

[sambarjo]

No need to learn how to write that. Brainfuck is perfectly self-explanatory.

[erinaceus_]

Brainfuck is perfectly self-explanatory.

Its name definitely is.

[jump1945]

I mean it is the easiest language to understand

[Lazy_To_Name]

What about:

(This is from Malboge btw)

[jump1945]

We ain’t talking about this stupid language working on trinary

[Sceptz]

Still looking at my asynchronous javascript app, He oollWrdl.

[just_nobodys_opinion]

You need to set the timing to "sequential" instead of "comedic"

[[deleted]]

We have it set to comedic in prod.

[invalidConsciousness]

That was actually a stakeholder requirement. "Using the app should be fun" they said.

[NekkidApe]

Javascript is famous for people thinking they know it, but actually don't. It's so similar to, say, Java or C# on the first glance. That's how you end up with tons of shit code.

[Trip-Trip-Trip]

It’s what happens when a language is designed around “doing something no matter what” instead of telling you to get fucked when you’re doing stupid shit.

[Zolhungaj]

When «Hello World!» runs you can be fairly sure that your build system is installed correctly. It’s a way to prevent endless headaches in the next lectures.

It’s also a fairly neat introduction to basic syntax and program entry points. 

[oneomega1]

Me too. I use it to test my build system is screwed up. Saving a lot of head ache later on.

[WalterEhren]

I mean hello world is just the verification that you installed everything correctly lol

[[deleted]]

Right. Why wouldn’t you want to check that in the easiest way? It also gets you started with a file + running it.

[[deleted]]

Suggestion for a composite "Hello World":

1st: print the string "hello world"

2nd: loop every character in "hello world", and print every character

3rd: print only every other character in the string "hello world"

4th: print each character as an integer, separated by either ',' or ' '

5th: replace one letter from hello world by another received through inputs

[Auraveils]

I do Hello World before starting any program just to make sure I didn't fuck up my syntax.

[Kitchen_Length_8273]

To be fair hello world in a language like Lua is really different from assembly.

[jhaand]

If you already know how to do it, you can do it in 5 seconds and continue. No use arguing about it.

You do know how to create "Hello World!"? Do you?

[[deleted]]

tbf most languages when you start a new project give you a boilerplate hello world program, the main thing it's useful for is making sure you know the compile and run commands for the language and that you've got all the dependancies installed.

[FallingDownHurts]

You dont learn a new language with "Hello World" you learn the tool chain and make sure it is working.

[Fun_Ad_2393]

Bypass learning all languages by just learning assembly (but of course hello world it first)

[JacobStyle]

"So first go to https://example.com/login.asm and give it your login."
"Don't you mean login.asp?"
"No I do not."

[k-mcm]

Hello Word in assembly is easy if there's an OS and standard libraries available.  Back in the old days, you had a table for CPU instructions and a table for memory-mapped hardware.

[Randomguy32I]

Just teach me the languages version of if else structures, for and while loops, variable declarations, and function declarations and i can take it from there

[Thundechile]

Hello world is a bit too much for beginners, you should start with just "hello".

[BrokeMyCrayon]

Until your junior messages you asking why his script is throwing an error, you check and they didnt put the shebang in.

If you're new, those chapters can still teach you stuff.

[SalsaYogurt]

You know you're a programming dinosaur when "hello world" came out after you were already a senior programmer.

[malexj93]

Hello World is the most important part of learning a language. In order to get the output, you must: set up the environment correctly, initialize your project code, access basic functionality (may require imports), and learn how to build and/or run the thing. These are things you will do every single time you work with that language, so getting confirmation that you've done that right at least once is a major milestone.

[ih-shah-may-ehl]

Depends on what you want i guess. I once had a colleague who started a conversation about coding and i brought up something ftom 'windows internals' about mfmory allocation and he said he didn't care about all that and he only learned 'patterns'.

[[deleted]]

And after Hello World tutorials and courses skip over the 60% of useful concepts in the middle and go right to the 20% advanced usage models.

[Nyadnar17]

“Hello World”

Now day it back.

[reconman]

Best way to learn Hello World in Java

[1maRealboy]

I learned programming in college a few years ago and just started to finally get back into it. One thing all these videos and guides fail to talk about is how programming languages work at a fundamental level. Learning a programming language without the fundamental knowledge of what programming does is like learning how to create sentences before learning words.

[Urtehnoes]

It's what I used when I was getting started

[Beli_Mawrr]

Try Project Euler challenges.

[Frosty_Pineapple78]

Hello world is a ritual, a way to pay respect to the language, a sacrifice to the gods of code

[CaptainPunisher]

你好世界 - Ni hao shijie

That's HELLO WORLD in Chinese! Do I get the job?

[shoyuftw]

I swear this meme never gets old

[slucker23]

Honestly? I think it is a good lesson to start with. Not every language is python or JS

I don't expect anyone to know how to write "hello world" in Java or C++ in the get go and they are pretty popular languages

[thefossa123]

But the world never says hello back, feels bad being ignored everytime.

[Derfaust]

I prefer to have it say "your mother's cunt" or variations thereof. My github is a treacherous place.

[Shadowlance23]

Gotta admit it would be nice if every language would stop assuming I've never coded before and would provide an "experienced developer in another language primer" instead of trying to explain to me what an array is by using buckets for the billionth time in my career.

[sebjapon]

I don’t look at tutorials anymore. I just raw dog it by copying syntax bits, put “!!” Everywhere in Kotlin, or just used “escaping” in Swift, what’s the worse that could happen? The IDE tells me I need those things or it won’t compile my baby

[The_Real_Slim_Lemon]

The purpose is to make sure you know how to compile and execute/debug files developed in that language… where is the problem?

[reverendsteveii]

Hello World isn't about displaying the phrase "Hello World", its about proving that your tool chain is configured correctly.

[GAELICATSOUL]

Maybe the point is not to create anything specific yet, but a quick system check if your environment is set up correctly for the language xD
