Years before the first "Hello World", in the mid-1970s, a language was developed at the Norwegian Technical University, called "Mary" (named after the girlfriend of the chief designer). The very first sample program in the introductory book printed out:

Mary has been executed

The chief developer broke up with his girlfriend, but I don't know if that happened befor the program was written. Maybe the breakup was a result of the program. Or the other way around.
