You mean this executor[0] which is linked right there on the page we are discussing here?

They should probably put more than three lines of code in there?

The rust and golang versions are exactly the same.

Printing hello world is the default of the industry for this sort of thing.

The Go playground actually has a dropdown menu with 15 examples, of which "Hello World" is merely the first; together they do a decent job of demonstrating the language's core features.

The Rust playground defaults to "Hello World" but that's just because there has to be something there, it's not on the home page of the website or anything (though it used to be).

The golang playground added those through time though. It f pony gets adoption (and I don’t know why it would) they likely would go through the same transition.

Mainly my point is it’s weird to complain about hello world. It’s been the first program for languages for decades.

That's not the home page and that's not what I'm talking about if you had bother to have read what I wrote that differs from a conventional and limited "try" playground. Also, I've used Pony before and gave up on it.

You also don't get to be the chief decider of what all of us may or may not talk about.
