I was expecting this to be a lot less straightforward. It would be interesting to see if you could trick people by writing code in such a way that it looks like it is a different language.

I think this was too easy. Maybe it should group more similar languages together or something.

The php one had a <?php tag at the top of it. Just saying.

If you've done (heck, even seen) a hello world in half of these languages, you can get the rest via elimination.

I loved the one that somehow looked like BF* but was actually JS ;)Confusion could arise when doing python in ruby or having some subtle distinction between c and c++, but I guess the test is not made to trick people or diagnose actual language knowledge. Still, lots of fun!

I haven't written a line in half of these languages, and I got a perfect score.I still don't know what this says about the uniqueness of programming languages or the ratio of code reading to code writing in the industry.

Am I shallow that it made me feel good getting all the answers right even though I knew most of the people who tried it would?

somewhere there's a much harder version, it has code that could be c/c++, c#/java, scheme/CL, except for one little distinguishing feature.

seemingly way too easy.
