A tiny nod to a big tradition

Hello, World!!

> curiosity = true
> first_step = "try something small"

That first little message has welcomed generations of programmers. Brian Kernighan used a “hello, world” example in an early-1970s B tutorial; the 1978 book The C Programming Language, by Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, helped make it famous.

This is our own greeting to a new kind of tinkering. You don’t need to write code to belong here.
