As a developer, you all must have worked on various programming languages and must have started with a simple "hello world" example. Though the message remains the same, every language has a different syntax (set of commands) to print it (with few exceptions where the command is the same for more than 1 language).
Listed below is the syntax of some common computer programming languages (chronologically), do leave a comment if we missed any language
