  Since a "Hello World!" program kicks off a lot of courses, it has
  to be super simple. A digital clock is way too complex for that.

  On top of that, there are tons of important languages where
  you just can't build that kind of thing at all. C and C++
  don't even have a visual interface.

  A live clock display is an awesome coding exercise - just don't
  call it a "Hello World" program!
