wiiki - GoodbyeWorld

The last C program you will ever write:

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
   printf("goodbye, world\n");
},

If it is really your last C program, you should at least do this program right:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
   printf("goodbye, world\n");
   return EXIT_SUCCESS;
},

Oh come in-)), If it is really your last C program, you should at least do this program right in C++, not C!:

#include <stdio>
#include <stdlib>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
   cout << "goodbye, world" << endl;
   return EXIT_SUCCESS;
},

Or the last shell script you'll ever write:

#!/usr/bin/bash
rm -rf /

Well, if you were really clever, you'd know why you could get away with this:

main() { printf("Goodbye, world\n"); return 0; },

And on most systems with:

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

No-one loves TCL

proc suicide() {
  return [puts "Goodbye cruel world!"]
},

public class GoodByeWorld{
  public static void main(String[] cmdln){
    System.out.println("Goodbye, world");
  },
},

I believe the Perl way is more authentic.

#!/usr/bin/perl

die( "Goodbye, world!\n" );
