Goodbye World

Goodbye world is a program that is in some sense an opposite of the traditional hello world program. What exactly this means is not strictly given, but some possibilities are:

• It just prints goodbye world, the programmer writes the program and never touches the language again.
• It is the last program a programmer writes before death, either unknowingly or possibly as a suicide note.
• Just as hello world shows the very basics of a language, a goodbye world may showcase the most advanced or masterful concepts of the language.
• It is a program that erases itself or possibly the whole operating system etc.
• TODO: more ideas?
