I'm going to write "Hello World" in various languages when I take study breaks (read: While I'm procrastinating). Or when I'm bored.
One line hello world programs are sorta useless. All they say is how to call a print function in a language. For example here is python:
''' print "hello world" '''
vs
''' def main(): print "Hello World!\n"
if name == 'main': main() '''
I know it's overkill: but it's also an example of how to call a very basic function. This is a repository of helloworld programs not hello world scripts.
I'm interested to see how long I keep this project going. Thanks to anyone who submits fixes and new languages.
There are thousands of programming languages. But I'll be starting with the ones I know and then move to the following two lists. Here and Here
hello and helloworld have been added to the gitignore, for languages with compiled executables
