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

      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 :(

                          It was the alert that clued me in that was JavaScript.

                              Premature clickage. It's a problem.

                                  19 - Damn that JavaScript one! A Real challenge would have included COBOL, FORTRAN, PL/1 and a few other languages spelled in ALL CAPS!

                                    I got 18/20. I had never seen Objective C, Scala, or Rust, or Go, so I managed to get a couple mixed up.
