Standartisation of "Hello, world!"

Unless not possible due to language limitations, shouldn't all output the same? Python, PHP and Actioncode miss the comma. Python also misses the space (no idea if this is intentional). LSL has the comma, but the comment states that it doesn't. 85.146.78.111 (talk) 05:30, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Informal

I'd like to see something to the effect:

"foo" and "bar" are generally not used in formal documentation. They are something of an "in joke", and mark text as being meant for fellow coders, as not having been (or intended to be) formally reviewed - certainly not by persons outside the hacker culture. They may indicate that code is to do with a subject that is technical with respect to computer science itself - one might see them in comments on code relating to compilers or operating systems, but not in code relating to end user interfaces or business-level logic.
