Hello World

First program's output

Hello World is a simple program or message used as a first exercise when learning a new programming language or system.

The tradition dates to the 1970s: write code that displays "Hello, World!" to confirm the environment works.

By extension, any initial test or debut: Consider this my hello world as a podcaster.
