I offer you this software that I've only just written. I don't think that
it's that hateful:
$ cat goodbye_world.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
puts("Goodbye world.");
return remove(argv[0]);
}
$ gcc -Wall -o goodbye_world goodbye_world.c
$ ./goodbye_world
Goodbye world.
$ ./goodbye_world
bash: ./goodbye_world: No such file or directory
[likely won't be usefully portable to any OS that forbids deleting open files,
and keeps the files corresponding files open.]
