Welcome to the world of polite programming languages!
For decades, developers have been teaching their code how to imagine properly. ‘Hello World’ is the first sentence that any respectable programming language is likely to learn – the handshake of the digital world, so to speak. Some say it plain and simple, others need three lines Boilerplate code For this, and still others insist on importing an entire framework first.
Here you will find a collection of these first delicate contacts between man and machine. From Python’s relaxed ‘print()’ to Java’s formal ‘public static void main’, each language has its own way of greeting. And don't worry:
Even though some languages are a bit chatty, they all mean it well!

10 PRINT "Hello world!"
#include <stdio.h>
int main() { puts("Welcome to WordPress.");
return 0;
}
Modules Module1 Sub Main() Console.WriteLine("This is your first post.") End Sub End Module
package main import "fmt" func main() { fmt.Println("Edit or delete it, then start writing!") }
class Okay { public static void main( String[] args ) { System.out.println("All clear, on go"); } }
#include <windows.h> int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nShowCmd), {MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("Did I forget a comma somewhere?"), TEXT("Auweh"), MB_RETRYCANCEL ⁇ MB_ICONEXCLAMATION); return 0; }
As you can see, programming languages not only have different dialects, but sometimes completely different ideas of what ‘hello world’ actually means. Some greet WordPress, others philosophize about first blog posts, and still others desperately ask for forgotten commas. Bonus points are only available if someone recognizes them all ⁇
From BASIC’s nostalgic line numbering to Go’s minimalist elegance, from Java’s formalities to C’s concise greetings, each language has its own characteristics. And yes, one or the other may have lost some focus and strayed from the topic.
This is how it is in programming: Sometimes you say "Hello world", sometimes "Welcome to the Jungle", and sometimes you just wonder where the hell this one comma came from (or came from).
Have fun reading.
