Hello, 🌎!

In the beginning the Programmer created the main.m.

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    @autoreleasepool {
        return 0;
    }
}

The main.m was empty, simply returning 0 out of its auto-release pool. And the Programmer’s IDE idly rendered the source file.

Then the Programmer said, Hello, 🌎! and there was a 🌎. And the Programmer saw the 🌎, that is was Unicode; and the Programmer delimited the string literal with @"" to divide it from Objective-C’s keywords & functions for the compiler. The Programmer then called upon the function NSLog with the string literal, so as to print the string to the console for all the 🌎 to see.

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    @autoreleasepool {
        NSLog(@"Hello, 🌎!");
        return 0;
    }
}

The Programmer ran “Build & Run” and saw that the 🌎 was printed and that it was good. And so the first program was written.
