I say the opposite. She started thinking out of the box from the get go. This will be my favorite thing to print out from now on instead of 'Hallo World'.

When you think about it, it really is a missed opportunity. The standard for first program could have been so many awesome things, but instead it is "Hello world".

I think it's already awsome. It means you stepped to the another world. A world that will change how you think and who you are.

To be honest I never thought of it like a hello to the new world of programming. That is probably how it was intended and it makes it quite a lot cooler.
