HELLO WORLD
HelloWorld is a term for any simple program or component that verifies a functioning system environment, usually by outputting the words "Hello World''. Hello World holds very little value in the learning or evaluation of a programming language and its constructs. Its primary purpose is to ensure that the compiler is on the right path, the libraries are in the correct places and that the build script is sane.
I am the compiler of this little virtual endeavor and my name is Ngan Chong. You would have already known me by a multitude of different names by now but it doesn’t really matter. These are just names granted to me by the city and its people. Sooner or later - given enough grace to stand by my side - you will eventually know me as Ngan.
Not a face, the brief acquaintance, a name card, a story, the friend of someone's brother, the brother of someone's friend, not the hearsay nor a series of numbers on your machine.
No. My name is Ngan and it's a pleasure to finally meet you, world.
