Sorry this is remotely tangentially related, but one of my favorite websites to peruse when bored is this hello world collection <a href="http://helloworldcollection.de/" rel="nofollow">http://helloworldcollection.de/</a> You can really get a feel of a language's personality and style from its 'hello world'
What impresses me with this article is how accurately the lack of substance of its title represents the lack of substance of the article itself.<p>This is a shockingly empty title. And the article follows suit. Some languages are more verbose than others. Those that are more verbose often don't need to be, unless when they do, then they do. Bummer. And if you zoom in on some function call then you see that a one-liner is hiding more complexity too. Who would have thought!<p>Such an immense waste of time that I have honestly no clue why the author went to lengths to write this all down.
