    Guess the Programming Language | Tutorialzine[^]. I managed 20 out of 20 - I'd be very surprised if you didn't get the same.

    They should have duplicated a few languages, the later ones got much easier because of it. Loved the JavaScript example. Very appropriate. :sigh: Now I have to go learn the chicken language. It looks very chicken, and I'll have to use it for my next customer.

              20 out of 20. The only one I had never heard of was Chicken, but that one was rather obvious. :)

              What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

                I only managed 18/20.  Clearly I'm not hip to Haskell and don't roll with Ruby. :( /ravi

                  20 out of 20 Though I had to use the process of elimination on 4 or 5 of them (i.e. I don't know Haskell from a hole in the ground, but the code I was looking at sure as heck wasn't Java or C++)

                      I've just been reading the chicken spec and the Javascript implementation. I laughed so hard I had tears.

                      "Error on line "+CHICKEN+": expected 'chicken'"

                      Jetlag is doing bad things to my sense of humour.

                        So, when do we get the first article on this language? We need to know more, I got a feeling there's some easter eggs hidden in there!

                                Only 18, and a few were through the process of elimination (e.g. haskell & rust). The second js one got me (although I'm sure it's a well-known bit of horrible code), and I've never used scala or ruby, and guessed the wrong one :(
