``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.

Can you elaborate on that point?

Hello World programs depend on the concept of "standard output", which is outside formal concepts like Turing completeness. However, there's no reason even a single-tape Turing machine couldn't incorporate a text-based standard output. After all the tape positions just represent memory addresses, you could have an output device mapped to a set of memory addresses, to show whatever symbols are located at those addresses.
