"Hello world" is the blank canvas the of software world.

Of course my own "Hello world" is a mark of genius, a unique product
of my social environment channeled through my own sensibilities and
experience. To compare a "Hello World" produced in 2008 with one
produced in 1968 makes as much sense as comparing Malevich's and Ad
Reinhardt's black squares.
