39 Hello World Programs

When learning a new programming language, the first computer program that one writes is usually some variant of the “Hello World” program: a program that writes “Hello World” to standard output.

I thought it would be interesting to put a bunch of “Hello World” programs together on one poster, each one written in a different programming language. That way you could compare them easily.

I used Python and XeLaTeX to generate such a poster. In fact, I generated two posters: one in “light mode” and one in “dark mode.” I figured I could share them here, via my blog:

I also uploaded my code to GitHub and shared it there under an MIT license. You can find that at https://github.com/ttmc/hello-world-ways
