@phnt @fiore @Suiseiseki wdym this is greatware

it’s as complicated as it needs to be to parse and process options, print hello world in any language, and allow customizing the hello message to keep true to the spirit of Freedom. can your stupid one-liner do that? i bet it can’t even print its own version and credit its authors

actually looking into it more.. oh god. GNU Hello 2.12.2. is that semver? major version 2? they had a breaking change? a breaking change in hello world? okay. the NEWS file mentions that GNU Hello used to have the ability to read your mail, using the -m option. then they removed this option in a minor release. a minor release? a breaking change? in a minor release? Okay. maybe this is not greatware
