Hello World

Welcome to my blog!

This is the traditional first post that every developer writes when starting something new. Think of it as a digital handshake—simple, friendly, and full of possibility.

Why "Hello World"?

Every programming journey starts with these two magical words. But why?

As developers, we write programs that take inputs and produce outputs. The simplest program would do nothing and just exit—but that's not very exciting!

Instead, we print a welcoming message to the world.

Since 1972, programmers have been discovering new languages through the same simple phrase: "Hello, World!"

It's like a rite of passage. You type it, run it, see it work, and smile. That moment when your code first talks back to you? Pure magic. ✨

Programmatic Greeting History

The story behind "Hello, World!" is quite fascinating:

This programmatic greeting was made popular by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie's "The C Programming Language" book, published in 1978.

The sentence originally came from another publication, also by Brian Kernighan, "A Tutorial Introduction To The Language B", published in 1972.

Fun fact: This wasn't even the first example! The original publication first showed a program that printed hi!.

The reason for the change was interesting—the B programming language had a limitation where a single variable couldn't hold more than 4 characters. So "Hello, world!" required several calls to the printing function.

I learned about this fascinating programming history from the Learn Go with Pocket Sized Projects book:
