The New Hello World

Just a quick look at what a JavaScript Hello World can look like in 2018

This is just a Proof of Concept and isn't meant as an actual tutorial at this point.

To run the browser example, you'll need a local webserver

I use python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080 to serve the content to localhost:8080.

That works mostly out of the box on OSX ¹. YMMV on Windows or Linux.

With node installed, you can run the node example with

node --experimental-modules node.mjs

node --experimental-modules node.mjs Bob

to print Hello Bob

You'll need to follow these instructions for the python server to properly recognize .mjs as Javascript. Alternatively if you only care about the browsers you can change hello.mjs to be hello.js and point index.html at it. ↩
