:Hi Kevin, thanks for being nice while I was a bit blunt.
:Regarding commentary not becoming unwelcome on RC, I was just showing my lack of experience here by my comment. However, I felt the commentary as it was was out of place in the [[Hello world]] example, where most languages just have some subtle variation on <tt>print("Goodbye World")</tt>
:# That it "works with Lua 5.1.1" is unremarkable, as it would have worked since the first release (v1.1, 1994).
:# Having two separate versions, one with parens and one without, ''and'' a comment, just seems unnecessary. Since omitting the parens is a syntactic sugar which a minority of languages have, I'd prefer the "without" version, but per your comment I'll revert deleting that particular comment (but with corrections).

:: If it would have worked with any version, just remove the “works with”. It's meant to act as a (minor) warning to people to be careful with versioning. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 06:41, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
