### Adding a language

#### Naming

The file should be named according to the language it was written. The name shouldn't be abbreviated too far (`Javascript.js` instead of `JS.js`) and it shouldn't be abbreviated to little (`CSS.css` instead of `Cascading Style Sheets.css`). Additionally, hyphens should be used instead of spaces (`Objective-C.m` instead of `Objective C.m`).

#### Contents

The code in the file should be the simplest or most straightforward way to print/display/show `Hello World` exactly once in the language used. Input from the user shouldn't be asked for where possible and a newline should only be printed when necessary.

### Updating README

`update_list.py` (Python 3.6+) should be run to automatically update the language list.

Added auto lang listing and CONTRIBUTING.md Added a small framework for easily updating a list of all languages the repository contains a "Hello World" program in. See CONTRIBUTING.md for a command for updating the listing (using the list_langs.rb Ruby script). 2016-11-28 12:04:48 +02:00
