That doesn't seem like a very interesting choice. `print hello` or similar will not showcase much of any given language's syntax, and is actually likely to hit specialized syntax for printing (e.g. Python 2's print wasn't a function). It will show some of the boilerplate, for languages that need it (public static void main...).
"Every programming language" is also quite the claim, I only see 46 languages in there (Wikidata counts 1,449 "programming languages" Q9143).

- Rochus 5y agoRight. Makes more sense to contribute to http://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Rosetta_Code http://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Rosetta_Code.
- remram 5y agoThis is awesome! And also looks like a superset: http://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Hello_world/Newbie http://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Hello_world/Newbie (94 languages, with code and instructions for running them)
