A pleasant surprise: updating the direct dependencies in difftastic has reduced the total transitive dependencies. I wasn't expecting that.

I'm coming round to the view that a main function shouldn't take arguments. For example, in Rust you have to call std::env::args() to get CLI arguments. This makes Hello World less verbose, and gives you more flexibility in setting up CLI argument parsers.

I'm trying to decide what program I should show on the home page of my PL. Hello World is too simple to show much syntax. Fibonacci is OK but the reader may not know what print(fib(10)) should show. Maybe print(greet("World")) is better? It gives you a function definition at least.
