'Hello, World!' in the Top 10 Programming Languages

‘Hello, World!’ is an iconic statement that introduces novices to the programming world. Today, I decided to see how the statement would be represented in various programming languages. According to GeeksforGeeks, the top 10 programming languages in 2022 are:

• Python

• Java

• JavaScript

• Kotlin

• R

• PHP

• Go

• C

• Swift

• C#

As an aside, I was quite happy to see Python make the top of the list. I had been watching the language gain dominance over the years!

Let's jump right in and see what a 'Hello, World!' would look like:

1. Python

print("Hello, World!")

---

2. Java

class MyFirstClass {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.out.println("Hello, World!"); 

    }

}

---

3. JavaScript

<script>

    alert( 'Hello, World!' );

</script>

---

4. Kotlin

MyFirstClass main(args : Array<String>) {

    println("Hello, World!")

}

---

5. R

print("Hello, World!", quote = FALSE)

---

6. PHP

<?php

    echo '<p>Hello, World!</p>';

?>

---

7. Go

import "fmt"	

func main() {

    fmt.Println("Hello, World!")

}

---

8. C

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

   printf("Hello, World!");

   return 0;

}

---

9. Swift

print("Hello, World!") 

---

10. C#

Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
