Absolutely no one has read a language specification before writing hello world.

Even as a developer with 30+ years experience, I'll write a dozen simple programs before I ever read a specification...

I'm looking for examples of basic control blocks, not esoteric edge cases for advanced features I don't yet care about.



I think they meant to say docs not language specification, which I agree with.
