Hi, This is Yovvel from the Netherlands and this is my first blog post ever!

The very first program you probably wrote, was a program that prints out "Hello, World!" Those are for many programmers famous words. Because this my very first blog post, i will show you how you say "Hello, World!" in a few different languages and see if we can learn anything from it.

Before we will look at how to say Hello in different programming languages, i will introduce myself. My name is Yovvel (not my real name) and i am a self taught/self learning programmer in my free time, because i love programming. Besides programming i love my servers and playing around with them. Of course, these aren't the only things i love, but these are the things i will write about here on my blog.

I hope you will enjoy!

Hello, World!

Okay, lets get started with Hello World. The first program the most beginners will write in their chosen language.

ALGOL

This was a language in the 50s.

BEGIN DISPLAY("HELLO WORLD!") END.

C

The most used language in the world and was developed in 1972 by Bell Labs. It is used in operating systems like Windows, Mac Os and Linux, gaming industries, and many different applications. C is a pretty low level language but still greatly readable like a high level language like Python or JavaScript.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    printf("hello, world\n");
}

Javascript

Javascript is a language used in the web development. You write HTML to create a skeleton for the website. You give the site a skin with CSS and make it interactive with Javascript.

console.log("Hello World!");

PHP

PHP is also developed for the web development environment. But unlike JavaScript, this language is been used in the backend of a site ( the server side).

<?php echo "Hello, World";

Lisp

Lisp is an old language from the 70s. Later on Autodesk used Lisp to write and create programs and scripts that can run within their AutoCad software. Because i am a professional Autocad Designer i am also writing scripts and programs in Lisp where all my colleagues profit from. The version for Autocad has been modified to fit in the Cad environment and is called AutoLisp and later they created a new version called Visual Lisp.

(print "Hello world")

Python

One of the easiest languages to learn and available in every environment, this language is because of that rising in popularity.

print("Hello World")

Well this is it for today. I hope you have enjoyed this post!
