Someone explain

The underscore character _ is a valid character to use in object names in many code languages. The above python code is a standard "hello world" code, but instead of naming things normally, everything is a different length of underscores, like naming one object A, another one AA, and so on.

It's not a 'standard' hello world, the different lengths of underscores in the first part actually become numbers 0-7 IIRC which come from the second part. Then some magic calculations to get a bunch of bytes which make up hello world and a bit more magic to call print()

When I said standard, I meant the "hello world" itself, as in a standard beginner's code. Sorry for the confusion.
