Can't we just use the examples from our web site in a two-column format?
I think that the expectation is for a more conventional kind of "hello
world" thing. But given that in many repl-based languages that's
going to be just
"hello world"
then it's probably best to look around in other pages.
(And it's definitely worth it to remove the gui thing -- it reminded
me of a gui hello-world thing for DevStudio.)
I liked the scheme/gui example (although it should be changed to
racket/gui). I think the world example should either go or be rewritten
as a self-contained racket program (add the necessary require).
Slideshow might be another good hello-world variant:
#lang slideshow
(slide (t "Hello world!"))
(slide (t "Well, good-bye."))

Another thing to consider is do we want complete programs (executable
with racket or gracket, use #lang) or do we want repl-pasteable
examples? Trying to paste a #lang-based example into a racket repl would
probably frustrate a casual reader who says "sounds cool, let's try that
example."
