'hello world' in whatever language you first did it in :Thmbsup:

Holy crap jp, that's cruel man!
mouser:
i think jpfx was just saying that, from a programmer's perspective, the best program for you will be the first program you ever write (typically a "hello world" type program).

In some ways I have to agree...from a personal perspective. But for the rest of the world, I don't think they would agree that this should be on the list. :-[
I would maybe change that to be this: your first original program. The first one that you expended a bit of creative energy on and wrote something different than what you knew to be available elsewhere.

If we go by "most influential" how can we leave out
The One And Only, The Essence Of Texteditors!
Behold!
The Greatest Of All That Is Binary: The Almighty And Predominant
VIM!
Of course this is 100% subjective and very offensive to others (who just haven't seen the light yet) :P
