The Hello World Collection

The Hello World Collection

“Hello World” is the first program one usually writes when learning a new programming language. The first Hello World program appeared in chapter 1.1 of the first edition of Kernighan & Ritchie’s original book about C, “The C Programming Language”, in 1978 and read like this:

main() {     printf("hello, worldn"); }

Since then, Hello World has been implemented in just about every programming language on the planet. This collection includes 370 Hello World programs in many more-or-less well known programming languages, plus 59 human languages.The programs in this collection are intended to be as minimal as possible in the respective language. They are meant to demonstrate how to output Hello World as simply as possible, not to show off language features. For a collection of programs that tell more about what programming in the languages actually is like, have a look at the 99 Bottles of Beer collection.

The Collection was compiled by Wolfram Rösler with help from many people around the world. It was started on 3-Oct-1994, put on the Internet on 30-Dec-1999, exceeded 200 entries on 14-Jul-2005, and 300 on 6-Dec-2006. It is now probably the biggest collection of Hello World programs on the Internet, and the only one collecting human languages as well. It is administered as a bunch of text files which are compiled into this single HTML file by a bash script executed under the Cygwin environment, run on Windows.

Ubuntu Live 2008 cancelled

If you were planning to attend Ubuntu Live 2008 in July, we have some bad news for you: the event has been canceled. Speakers were quietly notified earlier this week and the event’s Web site was updated late this morning.

This was to be the second time Ubuntu held the event that was timed to run concurrently with O’Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON) at the same venue. Canonical remains mum on the reason for the cancellation, except to say that this arrangement “better suits” people planning to attend OSCON. While Ubuntu Live 2007 boasted attendance of more than 750 developers, IT managers, and hackers, there is no word on how many people were preregistered for this year’s event. Much of the content that was to have been presented at Ubuntu Live 2008 will instead be presented at OSCON, though no there is no official word yet about which speakers will be included.

In a statement, Canonical says, “We have decided to replace this year’s Ubuntu Live conference — which was scheduled for July 21-22 in Portland, OR — with added content at the OSCON event, scheduled July 21-25 in the same location, as well as with several regional events in North America and Europe (more to come later). We believe this new structure will better suit people travelling to Oregon for OSCON anyway and also those who could not see us there at that time. All registered attendees, speakers and press have been contacted by O’Reilly with details of refunds or equivalent offers.”
