you are not alone, brother :)

i admit that i had to guess between COBOL and Fortran, though i got it right anyway. and i don't actually know Ruby or Python but i managed to identify them anyway ;)

Ha! I got all the old ones (C, Fortran, etc.) and none of the new ones (Perl, Python, etc.) Except java of course.

ZOMG WANT

I'm a little puzzled that they don't link Icon to REXX, though. I thought REXX was the modern descendant of Icon?

I bow before your kung-fu. That's a branch I know nothing about.

(But I've programmed in MUMPS!)

So are Scheme and Prolog done? Leaving the world?

[khedron.livejournal.com]

Scheme is happy purring along. PLT Scheme (http://www.plt-scheme.org/) is a very nice implementation, good for learning, scripting, and general use.

Meanwhile, schemers.org (http://www.schemers.org/) says there are workshops in 2008, and I'd heard vaguely about R6RS.

I do not, for one minute, believe you are ashamed of your score.
