So I've been doing relatively well, up to 12 and score of 75% - but then I hit TI-BASIC. After I chose it right, the number on the left progressed, but nothing changed in the language itself. After that, kept clicking Forfeit and counter on the left increases (as score naturally goes down), but nothing was displayed where language sample should be. I am on latest Safari on Mac. I CAN HAZ BUG FIXZ, PLZ? But seriously, tons of crazy languages out there - I wonder if it is because we each want to have our own? I know I put together one or two myself, over the years :)

Author here. Sorry for nipping your adventure short, but I caught sight of how fast the logs were scrolling, noted the HN referrer, and decided it'd probably be best to stop requesting the next code block from the server and just store everything client-side. With almost 10k uniques in ~16 hours, I imagine I've gone well over the 750 free dyno hours with this one. Oops...

Awesome work, either way! Very impressive collection of language samples. It would make great post to tell us how you put this together, especially where these code samples were from and anything else of interest. Kudos!

How I wish I could say I speak 70+ programming languages, but alas, they're all from Rosetta Code.[1] I would like to show a variety of "tasks", as the site calls them, but scraping seems like it would be a pain, so I went with the most interesting problem with a solid number of samples. As for the architecture, it's pretty much just a Ruby hash from language to code, and then a bit of CoffeeScript to glue everything together.

I knew it was from Rosetta -- coincidentally, only a few days ago I submitted my own entry there http://rosettacode.org/wiki/99_Bottles_of_Beer#Fexl .

Same happened to me at "Bash". Chrome 18 stable, OS X.
