Hello world/Standard error
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
A common practice in computing is to send error messages to a different output stream than normal text console messages.
The normal messages print to what is called "standard output" or "standard out".
The error messages print to "standard error".
This separation can be used to redirect error messages to a different place than normal messages.
- Task
Show how to print a message to standard error by printing Goodbye, World! on that stream.

AWK
To print a message to standard error, pipe it through a shell command:
BEGIN {
print "Goodbye, World!"| "cat 1>&2"
}
Or write to /dev/stderr:
BEGIN {
print "Goodbye, World!" > "/dev/stderr"
}
With gawk, mawk and nawk: a special feature associates "/dev/stderr" with standard error. The manuals of gawk and mawk describe this feature; nawk also has this feature.
Other implementations might try to open /dev/stderr as a file. Some Unix clones, like BSD, have a /dev/stderr device node that duplicates standard error, so this code would still work. Some systems have no such device node, so this code would fail. We recommend "cat 1>&2", which is more portable, and works with any Unix clone.

On the ZX Spectrum, standard error is on stream 1:
10 PRINT #1;"Goodbye, World!"
20 PAUSE 50: REM allow time for the user to see the error message
Batch File
1>&2 echo Goodbye, World!
The redirection operator 1>&2
causes all output on stream 1 (standard out) to be redirected to stream 2 (standard error).
The redirection can be moved to the end of the line, too.

Go
Built in println now goes to stderr.
package main
func main() { println("Goodbye, World!") }
but the builtin print() and println() functions are not guaranteed to stay in the language. So you should probably use

func main() { fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "Goodbye, World!") }

Metafont
Metafont has no a real way to send a text to the standard output/error nor to a file. Anyway it exists the errmessage
command which will output an error message and prompt the user for action (suspending the interpretation of the source).
errmessage "Error";
message "...going on..."; % if the user decides to go on and not to stop
% the program because of the error.
min
Currently, min has three possibilities for outputting to stderr:
"Goodbye, World!" warn!
"Goodbye, World!" error!
"Goodbye, World!" fatal!
The first two depend on the current log level (and are enabled by default). The last one additionally terminates the program.

Objective-C
In Objective-C one can use the standard C library and the stderr as in the C language; nonetheless a common way to output to stderr for logging purpose and/or error notification is the NSLog function, that works almost like fprintf(stderr, "..."), save for the fact that the format string is an NSString object, and it also prepends a timestamp.
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
int main()
{
fprintf(stderr, "Goodbye, World!\n");
fputs("Goodbye, World!\n", stderr);
NSLog(@"Goodbye, World!");
return 0;
}
OCaml
prerr_endline "Goodbye, World!"; (* this is how you print a string with newline to stderr *)
Printf.eprintf "Goodbye, World!\n"; (* this is how you would use printf with stderr *)
we can also use the out_channel stderr:
output_string stderr "Goodbye, World!\n";
Printf.fprintf stderr "Goodbye, World!\n";
finally the Unix module also provides unbuffered write functions:
let msg = "Goodbye, World!\n" in
ignore(Unix.write Unix.stderr msg 0 (String.length msg)) ;;

fprintf(stderr, "Goodbye, World!\n");

ooRexx
ooRexx provides a .error object that writes output to the standard error stream.
.error~lineout("Goodbye, World!")
The .error object is a proxy that delegates to a backing stream, so this might be redirected. By default, this delegates to the .stderr object, which can also be used directly.
.stderr~lineout("Goodbye, World!")

PowerShell
Since PowerShell has a slightly different system of pipes and streams (to facilitate easy usage from a host application) the standard Write-Error cmdlet is mainly for sending annotated error messages to the host:
Write-Error "Goodbye, World!"
Note that this outputs more than just the message, because behind the scenes it is an uncaught exception:
Write-Error "Goodbye, World!" : Goodbye, World! + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException
To accurately reproduce the behavior of other languages one has to resort to .NET in this case:
[Console]::Error.WriteLine("Goodbye, World!")
PureBasic
ConsoleError() writes the message string (plus a newline) to the standard error output of current program.
Standard error output can be used in conjunction with ReadProgramError() to reads a line from an other programs error output (stderr).

If the stderr name is supported and enabled, the output is written to the terminal.
If not supported or disabled, the output is written to a (disk) file named STDERR.

Smalltalk
The details on to which name stderr is bound may vary between Smalltalk dialects. If different, a "Smalltalk at:#Stderr put:<name your stream here>" should provide compatibility.
Stderr nextPutAll: 'Goodbye, World!'
However, all Smalltalks provide a console named "Transcript", where diagnostics is usually sent to (which is convenient, if there is no stderr to look at, as when started in Windows as an exe, vs. a com).
Thus:
Transcript show: 'Goodbye, World!'
will work on all, and is the preferred way to do this.
(and yes, when running UI-less as a console program, the global "Transcript" is usually bound to the stderr stream).
The above tells the stream to write a string; you can also tell the string to print itself onto some stream:
'Goodbye, World!' printOn: Stderr
Both have the same effect.

terminal = "Error"
output = "Normal text"

Swift

let err = "Goodbye, World!".dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding, allowLossyConversion: false)
out?.open()
let success = out?.write(UnsafePointer<UInt8>(err!.bytes), maxLength: err!.length)

- Output:
Goodbye, World! Wrote 15 bytes
Tcl
puts stderr "Goodbye, World!"
Transact-SQL
RAISERROR 'Goodbye, World!', 16, 1
True BASIC
CAUSE error 1, "Goodbye World!"

TUSCRIPT
$$ MODE TUSCRIPT
PRINT/ERROR "hello world"
text="goodbye world"
PRINT/ERROR text
- Output:
@@@@@@@@ hello world @@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@ goodbye world @@@@@@@@
UNIX Shell
echo "Goodbye, World!" >&2
C Shell
echo "Goodbye, World!" >/dev/stderr
This requires /dev/stderr
, a device node from BSD
and some other Unix clones.
This command works with both Bourne Shell and C Shell.
Ursa
out "goodbye, world!" endl console.err
VBA
Sub StandardError()
Debug.Print "Goodbye World!"
End Sub
VBScript
Must work in cscript.exe
WScript.StdErr.WriteLine "Goodbye, World!"
Verbexx
@STDERR "Goodbye, World!\n";
Visual Basic .NET
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Console.Error.WriteLine("Goodbye, World!")
End Sub
End Module
V (Vlang)
V's eprintln sends the message to stderr. Both stderr and stdout are flushed.
eprintln("Hello and goodbye!")
WDTE
io.writeln io.stderr 'Goodbye, World!';
Wren
Fiber.abort("Goodbye, World!")
X86 Assembly
This is known to work on Linux, it may or may not work on other Unix-like systems
Note that it is only 2 characters different from the Assembly example on User Output - text
Prints "Goodbye, World!" to stderr (and there is probably an even simpler version):
section .data
msg db 'Goodbye, World!', 0AH
len equ $-msg
section .text
global _start
_start: mov edx, len
mov ecx, msg
mov ebx, 2
mov eax, 4
int 80h
mov ebx, 1
mov eax, 1
int 80h
XLISP
(DISPLAY "Goodbye, World!" *ERROR-OUTPUT*)

The terms "standard output" and "standard error" are not used, but it's trivial to send messages to a variety of devices by specifying their numbers. Normally messages are displayed on the text console, which is device 0. Instead, this example sends the message to the (first) printer, which is device 2.
code Text=12;
Text(2, "Goodbye, World!")
Yabasic
error "Goodbye World!"
Zig
Works with: 0.10.x, 0.11.x, 0.12.0-dev.1357+10d03acdb
Variant with error handling:
const std = @import("std");
pub fn main() std.fs.File.WriteError!void {
const stderr = std.io.getStdErr();
try stderr.writeAll("Goodbye, World!\n");
}
Works with: 0.10.x, 0.11.x, 0.12.0-dev.1357+10d03acdb
Variant with no error handling (useful when debugging):
const std = @import("std");
pub fn main() void {
// Silently returns if writing to stderr fails.
std.debug.print("Goodbye, World!\n", .{});
}
zkl
File.stderr.writeln("Goodbye, World!")
