somewhere in the upper 70s it starts being undefined... Confused Delphi with Pascal, and then missed Pascal m(

Interesting though :D

cool idea. but add a submit button, or listen for enter key. right now clicking on the language of choice doesnt always work.

I thought that too, but it turns out I was confusing two Lisp dialects. At least on Chrome, as soon as you type the correct name, it continues to the next language.

It automatically advances when you get the answer right. If it's not advancing, you're probably entering the wrong language (even if you think you're right; there are a lot of similar looking, but obscure languages in there). I agree that it would be nicer if the author made it more obvious as to how it worked though.

ah, I see. that's why it never worked, apparently I guessed most of them wrong ;)

I feel this could do with an Easy/Medium/Hard option. I've been programming for about 30 years and I can honestly say I've never heard of Falcon or Piet.

The Lisps sure aren't easy
