I made some changes to a node express project that I haven't touched in almost five years. I was pleasantly surprised that I only needed to update one dependency to get it working again!

Do you define an API for every possible predicate (Python's assertLess, expect.js) or try to support the native syntax (c.f. pytest)?
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.
