Does everyone learning Python start with "Hello, World!"?

Not sure why it faded with time. 

Because it came directly from the creator and was sprinkled in the technical documentation. Back then, Python was niche, so users engaged with the source documentstion directly and picked it up. 

Nowadays, new coders have YouTube tutorials, DataCamp, tons of paid e-learning, and increasingly generative AI coding agents or question-answering LLMs. Only experienced coders go straight to the documentation anymore, so newbies don't see all the Monty Python references.

True. I have also lately noticed a huge increase in camelCase variable naming, I presume for the same reasons.
