As was noticed on habrahabr it is not "pure" javascript as it requires document object. Neither is

console.log("Hello World!");

As it requires console object. So we are left only with

throw "Hello World"

Do you think you could shorten this down to less than one line? One line seems wasteful.

The other developers were actually able to do negative lines. Can you do this?
