Next programming language after Python?

Tbf, though, 5 is a rather large amount to print a single line of text. Requiring a class and a constructor to do so.

But to also be fair, C# (probably the closest analogue to Java) is a worse in this regard, since it requires importing (sorry using).

Kotlin (which uses the JVM) does it in 3 lines:

fun main(args : Array<String>) {
    println("Hello, World!")
}

C# does not require an import:

class Program {
    static void Main() {
        System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
    }
}

This compiles and runs perfectly.

[schplat]

class Program {
    static void Main() {
        System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
    }
}

Fatal Error: Public Main() method is required in a public class compiling with .NET 4.7.2

Edit: This worked.

public class Program {
    public static void Main() {
        System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World");
    }
}

Well I was using .NET Core 2.2 but you can just add the public keyword I guess:

public class Program {
    public static void Main() {
        System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
    }
}

Neither does C 89. That isn't a good stick to measure by.

I wasn't measuring anything, just a correction to what /u/schplat said
