Is it time to replace Hello World?

It's a common practice to code the phrase "Hello World!", to the screen the first time you use a new language or program. I've written a couple blog posts about this with a few sample languages. "Hello World" Has been used for a long time, is it time to change? That is the focus of this project.

Here's how "Hello World!" is created in a few languages.

HTML

<title>Hello World</title>
<H2>Hello World!</h2>

JavaScript

console.log("Hello World!")

C#

Console.WriteLine("Hello World"!)

Python

print ("Hello World!")

def hello():
  return "Hello World!"
hello()

Well time and frameworks change, is it time to replace Hello World? What would be a suitable replacement?

What would make a dev smile to see on screen?

My Suggestion

The classic greeting from an old mentor.

Hello There!

Obi wan Hello There

HTML

<title>Hello There</title>
<H2>Hello There!</h2>

JavaScript

console.log("Hello There!")

Python

print("Hello There!")

def hello_function():
    print("Hello there!")
hello_function()

It works and adds a little humor and fun to a common activity. I plan to add "Hello There!" as I learn new languages. I have also opened the project up to first time contributors.
