The example is labelled “The classic first program.” |\n| **1980s‑1990s** | Textbooks, manuals, and early IDEs for languages such as Pascal, Ada, Lisp, FORTRAN, etc. | Authors routinely copy the K&R example, often changing the case or punctuation but keeping the same message. |\n| **1995** | *The Java™ Language Specification* (James Gosling et al.) | The “HelloWorld” class is the first example in the official Java tutorial. |\n| **2000s‑present** | Almost every language tutorial, online “Hello, World!” page, code‑generation tool, and “getting‑started” guide | The phrase has become a cultural meme—an informal rite of passage for any new programmer or new language implementation. |\n\n---\n\n## Why Kernighan chose that exact string\n\n* **Simplicity:** It requires only a single output statement and no input, making","function_call":null,"reasoning":"We need to answer: origin of \"Hello, World\". Provide concise but thorough explanation: first use in 1972? Actually first known use in 1972 \"BASIC\" book?

Actually earlier in 1972 \"The C Programming Language\" (1978) includes example. Wait: The phrase appears in the 1972 book \"The C Programming Language\"? No that book is 1978.
