Post Challenge

"Hello, {name}!"

+3
−1

Background

While we do have a "Hello, World!" challenge, we still don't have one regarding input. So let's do one!

Challenge

Create a program that takes an input (not as a function argument) then outputs Hello, , the variable and ! altogether. Standard I/O only applies. Shortest submission per language wins!

Bonus: Use your username as the input.

Japt, 10 bytes 

`HÁM, {U}!

Try it

The backtick decompresses a compressed string, the {} is Japt's string interpolation and U is the first input variable.
