What does Saluton Mondo mean?

View Comments 01 December 2005

First thing learnt in almost every programming course I’ve attended. Displaying “Saluton Mondo” to the terminal/screen/monitor would be practical lesson one. As this is the first post to my blog, why not? I’m starting this out very, very ‘programmer’ like. I’m sure this is to evolve like life has.

Saluton Mondo is Esperanto meaning Hello World…

What is Esperanto?

Esperanto is the most widely spoken constructed international language. The name derives from Doktoro Esperanto, the pseudonym under which L. L. Zamenhof first published the Unua Libro in 1887. Zamenhof’s goal was to create an easy and flexible language as a universal second language to foster peace and international understanding.

    I’ve only ever seen “Hello World” in courses and books, not the Esperanto, which is a shame. It seems less cheesey in Esperanto, as do the lyrics “Mi estas neniu hero’, Nek vi estas princin, Kaj chi tio povas ighi nenio”

    “Mi estas neniu hero’, Nek vi estas princin, Kaj chi tio povas ighi nenio�
    translated “I’m no Hero, Nor are you a Princess, And nothing can come of this” They’re by Dolchamar (http://dolchamar.com)

    I was searching for Esperanto on funnel and was surprised to come accross your site. I’ve been reading your blog for a while, but more so after the BarCamp (via jerith, whom you may or may not have met).

    TYFYC Johan – One of the things we do is Search Engine Optimization (Getting you onto the first page of search results) Saluton Mondo is the only Esperanto i know but would be ever so happy to know more than just Saluton Mondo. How can you help? – rafiq
