CAN HAS STDIO?
VISIBLE "HELLO WORLD!"
KTHXBYE

@echo Hello World!

9. Unix BASH

#!/bin/bash
STR="Hello World!"
echo $STR

10. Basic

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Hello, world!\n";
    return 0;
}

Here’s an amazing site which I give much thanks for providing many languages to list here, look for Wolfram Rösler on all your favorite platforms <3
