Trying the nix CLI today, and I'm seriously impressed with the formatting of its --help output.

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.
