``algorithmic''

I keep reading about this new ALGORITHMIC programs, i.e. computer programs that have (or use?) algorithms.. would any of you guys explain to me what the fuck is this? is this something like Artificial Intelligence??

Thanks.

I know very little about Lambda Calculus, however it's said to be equivalent to a Turing machine, and I'm pretty sure it's possible to define Hello World on a Turing machine using a defined character set.

The canonical "Hello World" is a text-based program. Even if it doesn't use ASCII, it uses a character set that works more or less the same way. And while it's entirely possible to create a Hello World program that sends its output to a text-to-speech software, that isn't what most people have in mind when they talk about Hello World.
