Let’s see how a hello-world looks like in the most popular programming languages.
I’m not an expert in judging what are popular languages, but I’ve heard people referring to the TIOBE index in the past, which currently starts with (1) Java (2) C (3) Python (4) C++ (5) Visual Basic .NET (6) C# (7) JavaScript (8) PHP (9) SQL (10) Objective-C
It doesn’t exactly confirm the hypothesis that short hello world programs make a language popular.
= = = (1) Java = = =
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(“Hello, World”);
}
}

{
printf(“Hello, World!”);
return 0;

print(“Hello, World!”)
