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.

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

The awk example is valid Perl.

  $ awk 'BEGIN { print "Hello, world!" }'
  Hello, world!
  $ perl -le 'BEGIN { print "Hello, world!" }' 
  Hello, world!

Wow, this made me painfully aware of how few languages I know. I hadn't even heard of some of them!

Broken on the latest Opera for some reason.

Works fine for me on 12.16. Screenshot?

Trying to pick between omgrofl and lolcode with one life left can be likened to deciding which color wire to snip.

They look nothing alike, but I saw the LOLs in Omgrofl and instincively hit the LOLcode button before really looking at the code.

Great game, hadn't heard of some languages! Maybe I will have to read something of them...
