My thoughts are the same. I was looking for a simple hello world and it is a bit of a puzzle to find that. Right on the front page a simple snippet example would already do wonders. Especially if the "rapid prototyping" is a key attribute.

Hello World in Lucee would simply be: echo "Hello World" > hello.cfm I think the thing that's missing here is the context on the history. For most people using this project, they've come from CF (Adobe). It was "Hey, using CF and having a hard time with Adobe's code quality? We've made an opensource alternative! It's identical, but without the bugs and with these extra features..." And I guess the story for starting with it from scratch hasn't been more carefully considered.

As @aidos and @abraham_lincoln pointed out, an "Hello World" example is simply putting that string in a file named hello.cfm on the root of the web application and calling it with your browser, e.g. http://localhost:8080/hello.cfm http://localhost:8080/hello.cfm Before you can do that though, you need to install the CFML engine. I recently published a tutorial that shows how to install Lucee in Tomcat very easily: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuugoG5c-7M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuugoG5c-7M http://blog.rasia.io/blog/how-to-easily-setup-lucee-in-tomcat.html http://blog.rasia.io/blog/how-to-easily-setup-lucee-in-tomca... To make your Hello World example a bit more interesting, you can add the tag `<cfoutput>` with some dynamic content, e.g. <cfoutput> Hello World on #dateTimeFormat(now(), "mm/dd/yyyy 'at' HH:nn:ss")# </cfoutput> See example at https://trycf.com/gist/226c10cbe74d4083743a617b25398224/lucee5?theme=monokai https://trycf.com/gist/226c10cbe74d4083743a617b25398224/luce...

  This would be a great "Hello World" snippet to thrill the newcomers on the website. That simple paragraph as you wrote. Enough already to entice further curiosity now to explore on the dynamic content portion and start thinking on where this thing can be used on my daily tasks. All the best with Lucee.
