Re:What would a very simple quantum program look like?

Every quantum operation maps basis states to something, it's not specific enough to single out the Hadamard transform.
Note that the full description in your linked Wikipedia article " a one-qubit rotation, mapping the qubit-basis states |0⟩ and |1⟩ to two superposition states with equal weight of the computational basis states |0⟩ and |1⟩".
If I had to choose a descriptive name, I might call it the "equal superposition" operation; but I'm not a quantum physicist either, so that might be wrong as well.
