Unfortunately this doesn't work in mobile Safari...
Nor in Firefox here, FWIW. Pity, it might have been fun.

#42This is neat but I wish the score was accurate. Currently if I click forfeit it will show me the correct answer but not do anything. I can then write in the answer and then it will increment the x/y score. However, it doesn't take into account forfeits so I always get a perfect score.

#43The site offers https but is broken when using it. It shows no questions.

#44About 90%. Yeah, I'm one of those programming language nerds (to the point that I'm irritated I only got ~90%!).
Re: What's That Programming Language?
#45Horrible UI and most of the examples were from obscure languages. The only one I got right was assembly and that is scary...

#47Earlier quoted context omitted.
It should be "hard." If you know anywhere near all of them, that probably means you've dabbled in lots of things but never really any one in depth. (Or, you literally do nothing else in your life but code.)
Not complaining that it can get this hard. But for someone who wants to play but goes 20+ without hitting a language you have seen or heard of, it would be nice to be able to dial down the difficulty. Maybe something based on most popular programming languages (beginner only takes top 20-50 or something?)
I think it's great: you get to see all these obscure languages and how similar they are to languages you do know.

#48I need to press Escape to get to the next question? Worst UI ever.
Re: What's That Programming Language?
#49Nermerle language, huh? no wonder I didn't get it.
Re: What's That Programming Language?
#50I love this. My theory is that the horrible UI is intentional(ly not spent more effort on), to separate the true language geeks from the giver-uppers.
ps. I found a bug: Delphi is not a programming language, but Object Pascal is.
