#1217/19. Missed Erlang and Groovy.
The ones which came to me quickest upon seeing the name(s) were Python, Lisp, C, Java, C++ and Go (because of the year). The one which was the hardest to recall was Scala.
And the bonus was quick to memory, too.

Same, missed basic, cobol, scheme and JS. :(

#15I feel like I cheated on BASIC: I didn't know the creators, but it was the only big one from that era I didn't have yet.

#1612/19. Oh well, at least I had Ada Lovelace. :)

#1718/19 groovy was out of my radar.

#18I got 4.

#19Grace Hopper invented FLOW-MATIC. She wasn't even on the COBOL design committee.
If I were to choose a single inventor for Scheme, I would have chosen Sussman, not Steele.

#20I can't believe I missed basic and javascript! I'm banging my head against the wall thinking "I know the name Brendan Eich, but where?"
18/19 can't believe I missed BASIC! Should have been process of elimination of programming languages I've heard of at that point. Most I got from the creators, managed to narrow down the others based on the year.
Same here, I was guessing on a couple of the other ones though.
I was thinking that it was Algol or Simula or one of the other ones that is super important in terms of influence but isn't used at all any longer.
