Hello World, Really? Yeah… now that’s a title never used before as a initial start of something new. Well well….
First and foremost, welcome to the Pikado.se blog! This blog will intend to highlight some of my work, thoughts and best practice methods like “Which software to use to simplify your work?” or “How coffee optimises work flow”. But for now, let’s dig deeper into how “Hello World” phrase gained it’s popularity.
How “Hello World” started?
Brian Kernighan actually wrote the first “hello, world” program as part of the documentation for the BCPL programming language.
Kernighan first referenced ‘Hello World’ in the C Programming Language book’s predecessor: A Tutorial Introduction to the Programming Language B published in 1973.
Hello World is basically a simple program that, when run, displays the same message. Such a program is very simple in most programming languages. It is used to illustrate the basic syntax of a programming language and that’s why this is often the first program written by people who are learning to code.
Here’s what the code looks like in some of the most popular programming languages currently in use.
Java
class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello, world!");
}
}
C#
using System;
class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!");
}
}
Python
print("Hello, world!")
Ruby
puts "Hello, world!"
Scala
object HelloWorld extends App {
println("Hello, world!")
}
ASP.NET
Response.Write("Hello World!");
Lisp
(princ "Hello, world!")
Haskell
main = putStrLn "Hello, world!"

Go
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Println("Hello, world!")
}
Well, that’s all we got for our first post and this topic. We feel hope that our readers maybe got something interesting out of it and that they will continue to visit this blog… Yeah, we can only hope.
Frankly speaking, this was not the most impressive blog post we read either, but hey, it’s not good to be hard on yourself. Right?
