What the hack?
The slogan of this hackathon was “hack the reality”.
The aim of this hackathon was not to develop something useful.
In 44 hours I’ve developed a project named “Hello world”.
The main theme in this project is to show the growing number of programming languages we have to know to stay relevant.
Presentation
I have half knowledge in some areas, but recruitment sites require me to know more:
I did some research to find out all urgent programming languages:
Programming Languages Influence Network
PopularitY of Programming Language
I bumped up my skills by good old “hello world’s”:

— Brendan Eich
Java
— James Gosling
Python
— Guido van Rossum
CSS
— Håkon Wium Lie

— Rasmus Lerdorf

Now I’ve bumped up my skills! I’m a full-stack developer!
During my education, I found out not only the hello worlds, but the inventors of each language.
And now is the judgement day for all of them!
As far as this is fun hackathon I’ll send spam e-mail to all the inventors.
Hello!
I'm a super-duper programmer.
I can write "Hello, world" in all urgent programming languages!
So, please hire me.
So i did it!
Results
Finally I won in the nomination “The most useless piece of code”.
And as far as this is fun hackathon I think that I won in the main nomination!
