hello, world

The first program you learn in a basic survey of a new programming language. Sometimes, but not always the program's sole function is to output the words "Hello World" on the display.

I've been working with Enterprise Java for weeks, and I'm not even at the "Hello, World" level.

<"Hello World!">

Something that every YouTuber writes on code when teaching HTML to viewers. Literally everyone. It can also be seen in JavaScript and Unity.

Brackeys: *writes* <"Hello World!">; so this is how you write code in Unity

everyone: why does everyone with a tutorial write hello world?
Brackeys:*on next episode writes* <"Bye B****!">
everyone: much better
