You're right we don't, it's just an assumption based on the old Hello World (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_world_program) programming tradtion.

The C programming language was created by Brian Kernighan in the early 70's while working for AT&T Bell labs. His book about the language provided a very simple example program that output the phrase "hello, world" to the console. Since then "hello world" has been used in examples for many other languages and toolkits as the most basic example.
