Hello World

The obligatory "Hello, World!" program many times over

General

I'm creating this repo as a sort of public sandbox. Essentially, I'm trying to broaden my horizons as a programmer and I thought it would be a good idea to track install/running instructions and have a way to compare basic notes about different languages. Additionally, I'd like this repo to function as a "fiddle" environment for all of these different languages I'm learning about. I know this will help me, and I hope it helps someone else too!

As a quick note, I am starting this on February 3 2023 on a M2 Max MacBook Pro using MacOS Ventura 13.2 - as such, some of these instructions and notes will be specific to MacOS and/or my machine. I'll try to keep install instructions as generic as possible, but if you are not using MacOS please take special care and use your best judgement. Additionally, I'm going to avoid using homebrew to install software for two reasons:

1. It's MacOS specific
2. It's community maintained, whereas the official installers are not

Local Env Setup

Since this is a "Hello, World!" repo, I'll also include some env recommendations

1. Install iTerm2
2. Install Git & Configure your Credentials
3. Install VSCODE as an editor
   • Launch the app and pick a them by going to Settings > Theme > Color Theme. Personally I like "Solarized Dark"
   • Within the app, hit Command Shift P to open the "Command Palette". Type shell command and elect to Install 'code' command in PATH. This will enable you to launch VSCode from iTerm2 by typing code . or code <path-to>/<project-name> (Note: you will likely need to grant admin access for this)
   • Install the "GitLens" extension
