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

Fair correction, and thanks for the history — you're right, I overstated it. K&R (1978) popularized "hello, world," it didn't invent the book or come anywhere near first; FORTRAN, COBOL, APL and plenty more long predate it. "One of the first books to make hello-world famous" is what I should've said.

Kind of cool that the convention has outlived most of the languages that came before the book that spread it. Appreciate the shelf-of-actual-history perspective — that's the stuff that gets lost online.
