A blast from the past!
Adenine (also known as Haystack) is a programming language developed in the 1960s for use on the IBM System/360. It’s an assembly-like language that uses symbolic representation of machine code.
Here’s the “Hello World!” program in Adenine:
HLINK L
L OUT "Hello World!"
END
RUN
Let me break it down:
HLINK L
: This is a label declaration, which defines a symbol for the program. In this case, we’re defining a label calledL
.L OUT "Hello World!"
: This is an output statement that prints the string"Hello World!"
to the console.END
: This marks the end of the program.RUN
: This executes the program.
To compile and run this code, you’d need access to an IBM System/360 or a simulator/emulator that supports Adenine. Otherwise, this is just a nostalgic exercise in programming history!
