   Holy Roller
         n 1: a member of a religion that expresses ecstatic fervor

English Dictionary: hell erleuchtet sein by the DICT Development Group
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   hello world interj.   1. The canonical minimal test message in
   the C/Unix universe.   2. Any of the minimal programs that emit this
   message.   Traditionally, the first program a C coder is supposed to
   write in a new environment is one that just prints "hello, world" to
   standard output (and indeed it is the first example program in
   {K&R}).   Environments that generate an unreasonably large executable
   for this trivial test or which require a {hairy} compiler-linker
   invocation to generate it are considered to {lose} (see {X}).   3.
   Greeting uttered by a hacker making an entrance or requesting
   information from anyone present.   "Hello, world!   Is the LAN back up
   yet?"
  
  

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   hello, world
  
      The canonical minimal test message in the {C}/{Unix} universe
      or any of the minimal programs that emit this message.
      Traditionally, the first program a C coder writes in a new
      environment is one that just prints "hello, world" to standard
      output (and indeed it is the first example program in {K&R}).
      Environments that generate an unreasonably large executable
      for this trivial test or which require a {hairy}
      compiler-linker invocation to generate it are considered bad
      (see {X}).
