Wow this is hard. Wish there was a level option (beginner, intermediate, advanced or something). I have never heard of Pike or Whenever, plus never seen Algol 8 or APL. I spent ten minutes trying to find one that I recognized.
- cgtyoder 13y agoIt should be "hard." If you know anywhere near all of them, that probably means you've dabbled in lots of things but never really any one in depth. (Or, you literally do nothing else in your life but code.)
- the_watcher 13y agoNot complaining that it can get this hard. But for someone who wants to play but goes 20+ without hitting a language you have seen or heard of, it would be nice to be able to dial down the difficulty. Maybe something based on most popular programming languages (beginner only takes top 20-50 or something?)
- CatMtKing 13y agoI think it's great: you get to see all these obscure languages and how similar they are to languages you do know.
- mikeash 13y agoIt means you've dabbled in lots of things, sure, but how does that imply you've never done one in depth? It is not that time-consuming to become familiar with the basics of many different programming languages.
