If you’ve written any code before, you’ve probably seen this phrase:

Hello, World

It’s the traditional first program in just about every programming language. Simple, unassuming, and universal.

In JavaScript:

console.log("Hello, World")

The tradition dates back to 1974, when Brian Kernighan used it in a C tutorial in the early days of UNIX.

So here it is: the inaugural post of and beyond.

Hello, World!
