Odd thought

[mithriltabby]

There’s a tradition in introductions to new computer languages (which dates back to the original book on The C Programming Language by Kernighan and Ritchie, if not before) of writing a program that just prints Hello, world! Is anyone else in the habit of making theirs print Goodbye, cruel world! instead?

#import <stdio.h>

int main() {
    printf("Goodbye, cruel world!\n");
    return main();
}

Thought you might be amused by the Hello world program (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_world_program) article at Wikipedia -- especially some of the links at the bottom to some of the more obscure variants....
