If I recall correctly, the steps would be:

1. Open Visual Studio.

2. Create a new Windows Forms app.

3. Drag a label onto the form.

4. Change its Text property to "Hello, World!".

5. Press Run.

From my experience, professional-looking Windows apps are easier for a solo dev to make than websites (HTML+CSS+JS+backend).



echo "Hello world" > index.html

Can be deployed anywhere, runs on every device. No need for a 20GB+ IDE + dependencies.


Sure, and this solution requires an entire browser instance merely to display "Hello world".

The 20GB of IDE dependencies are optional. However, the IDE certainly makes development uncomplicated (the subject of the OP).
