Where does ‘Hello world’ come from?
"Hello world!"
is the most commonly used example I can think of, yet I don't really know where it came from. Was it used by some particular book, or did it just spread among developers? Did people write "Hello world!"
snippets in COBOL or FORTRAN ?
Just a quick search on wikipedia gaves : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_world_program#History
The first known instance of the usage of the words "hello" and "world" together in computer literature occurred earlier, in Kernighan's 1972 Tutorial Introduction to the Language B
