A multilingual coded Hello World! thread

Question

Things are getting quiet around the shop, seems like all the coding is done in foreign lands. Any way, let's get a thread started, a multilingual coding spree showing how to display "Hello World! (computer language used)". The code has to be a full program! Make sure you have the console wait to display the result too, and give us a comment.

Thanks to Dark Omen:

puts "Hello World! (ruby)"
gets  # make display wait

import msvcrt
print "Hello World! (python)"
msvcrt.getch()  # make display wait, kind of akward, does anybody know a short version?

#include <stdio.
int main()
{
  puts("Hello World! (C)");
  getchar();  // make display wait
  return 0;
}

PRINT "Hello World! (basic)"
PAUSE  ' make display wait, this may not be the best

Up to 2500 computer laguages out there! Okay, you Fortran, Lisp and Cobol folks let's have some fun ...

C++:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
  std::cout<<"Hello, world!"<<std::endl;
}

Euphoria:

puts(1, "Hello, world!\n")

Forth:

: HELLO  ." Hello, world!" CR ;
HELLO

Java:

class hello {
  public static void main(String [] args)
  {
    System.out.println("Hello, world!");
  }
}

C#:

using System;

class hello {
  public static void main()
  {
    Console.writeln("Hello, world!");
  }
}

Perl:

print "Hello, world!\n";

Bored now, I may add more later.

DOS Batch files (and Windows Command prompt files):

echo Hello World!

The C++ compiler itself (well, SOME compilers like VC):

#pragma message( "Hello, World!" )

Okay, we are slowly rolling ...

<html>
<body>

Hello World! (HTML)

</body>
</html>

I simply took this from the DaniWeb snippets ...

<? echo("Hello World! (PHP)"); ?>

Do I have to find my old copy of Turbo Pascal? Pascal coders enlighten me ...

Looks like formatting asm code isn't liked very well. Anyway this is my two bits worth and I've enclosed the executable as a ZIP. Just rename HW.ZIP as HW.EXE and it will work fine.

Is anyone interested in modifying this app so "Hello World", shows as 3D text inside a box only when the left button is being pressed, centered around the cursor and staying inside main window.

I haven't included the windows.inc file as mine is 2300 lines long, so if you attempt to compile you'll just have to supply the required equates, or contact me and I can send you the associated INC file.

Even though this is NOT in PHP code, It does a little better job of displaying than code tags do. :(
