It became famous when Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie included the same example in the first edition of **_The C Programming Language_** (1978). From there it spread to virtually every programming language and has become the de‑facto “first program” for learning a new language.\n\n---\n\n## Detailed chronology\n\n| Year | Publication / Event | What it contained | Why it matters |\n|------|---------------------|-------------------|----------------|\n| **1972** | *A Tutorial Introduction to the Language B* (Bell Labs memorandum, later reprinted in the book *The Programming Language C* (1974) and in the ACM SIGPLAN Notices) | ```printf(\"hello, world\\n\");``` – the very first documented “Hello, World!” program. | First known printed example that deliberately prints the phrase *hello, world* as a sanity‑check for a new language. |\n| **1974** | *The Programming Language C* (Kernighan, Bell Labs) | Same B example, now shown in C syntax: ```printf(\"hello, world\\n\");``` | Shows the phrase in the language that would soon dominate systems programming. |\n| **1978** | *The C Programming Language* (Kernighan & Ritchie, 1st ed.) | Chapter 1, “A Simple C Program”: ```#include <stdio.h>\\nint main(void) {\\n    printf(\"hello, world\\n\");\\n    return 0;\\n}``` | The book became the primary textbook for C; the example was copied into countless classroom hand‑outs and early textbooks, cementing the tradition. |\n| **1980s‑1990s** | Ported to virtually every new language (Pascal, Ada, Java, Python, etc.) | Almost identical code, often the very first example in language manuals. | The phrase turned into an industry‑wide rite of passage. |\n| **2000s‑present** | “Hello, World!” appears in tutorials, online sandboxes, code‑golf challenges, and even non‑programming contexts (e.g., API “Hello, World!” endpoints). | The phrase is now a cultural meme about “getting started”. | Shows how a tiny piece of code became a universal symbol of “first steps”. |\n\n---\n\n## Why “Hello, World?”?\n\n1. **Simplicity** – All a program needs to do is output a","function_call":null,"reasoning":"We need to answer: origin of phrase \"Hello, World\". Provide concise but thorough answer: earliest uses, programming tradition, Brian Kernighan's 1972 C tutorial, earlier use in 1967?
