    The simplest Hello World in Wolfram Language is just: "Hello World" or even: Hello World which are both quines. The only reason you need to know about Style and GeoGraphics is for …

    How is that different? There is a lot of "serious / adult" literature that includes wizards, demons, and dragons, and that is not a recent development. (Or in older times, ghosts, …
