How inefficiently efficient can you make Hello World?

Hello everyone, this is my first post here!

A couple of days ago, I wondered—as all truly revolutionary ideas begin—with a simple, dangerous question:

"What if..."

...we treated "Hello, World!" not as a trivial one-liner, but as a mission-critical, enterprise-grade application?

What would that look like?

Not just "how many files," but...

  • Should we import the alphabet—just to be safe?
  • Add scientifically proven perfect sleep time between letters?
  • Give the exclamation mark its little secret file?

So I did what any reasonable engineer would do: I over-engineered the soul out of it.


I present to you:

The Most Inefficiently Efficient "Hello, World!" Ever Created 🎬

This isn't just a program. It's a 69-line cinematic masterpiece featuring:

🔤 A Custom Alphabet Import (because Python's built-in one isn't optimized enough)

⏱️ A Scientifically Proven Dramatic Pause™ between each character

🚀 A Dedicated Space Import Helper (because normal imports are for peasants)

💡 Mission-Critical Comments that explain nothing and everything at once

🤫 And maybe a secret... or two
