The US military has a standardized test called the DLAB (Defense Language Aptitude Battery) that tests not your ability to use a particular language, but to learn a new, fictitious language - much like this programming test.

If you're into brainfuck and compilers, here's one that compiles BASIC into brainfuck and is written in java: http://esolangs.org/wiki/BFBASIC It's advanced enough to compile things like text adventures. I haven't been in #esolangs on fre

Your point is interesting, and made me think about the way people primarily look for classical music - by composer. If this whole scheme is to be based on some notion of "creator," then the the way this would be organized seems to be pretty
