Scored 2400, was pretty fun.

A problem is that some of the languages are indistinguishable. I'm pretty sure the example I saw for Logtalk would be perfectly acceptable Prolog.

Nice! Are you sure that this example is acceptable for Prolog? https://github.com/krasnoukhov/langgame/blob/master/models/v...
The awk example is valid Perl.

  $ awk 'BEGIN { print "Hello, world!" }'
  Hello, world!
  $ perl -le 'BEGIN { print "Hello, world!" }' 
  Hello, world!
Also, it's really hard to choose between Delphi and Pascal (no features specific to Object Pascal are used) and between Nemerle and C# (no Nemerle-specific features seem to be used).
5700 :)

The simple absence of (admittedly optional) semicolons in some cases tipped the balance for me. Keyword capitalisation, too.

Still kicking myself over my mistakes, though. :P
