    I put my guess in and it does nothing, I think the site's not working right.
    Currently using VS 2015 Enterprise on Win10 Enterprise x64.

    There's a help button on the right that explains it. It will do something only if you guess right. If you want to skip or move to the next question, press Escape.

    Some languages are very similar to each other.

    Unless you know the keywords, it would be impossible to guess. DART / MATLAB / C / GO / C++ share syntax. Some of them are easy to guess like BASIC or BrainF***k.


    I have just heard of these langauges, never actually seen the syntax.

    What the heck is Erlang?
    Do not read this sentence.
    You read that last one, didn't you?
    Darn. You now read the previous two.

    Erlang is actually a fantastic bit of kit. Developed by Ericsson for telephony applications which run all the time and code can be hot-swapped without stopping the system. I've read about it in a neat book called 7 Programming Languages in 7 Days (or something like that) that briefly describes various programming paradigms.

    I got like 12/75, I was surprised that I didn't do better so I cheated and got 75/75. Now I feel better.
