14/15. I basically only program Python, but I guessed based on vague stereotypes of different languages. The wrong one was guessing Java for C#.

That's a pretty fair toss-up if you're not familiar with either.

Biggest giveaway (as a lifelong Java programmer who's probably only written about 100 lines of C#, ever) is that C# Likes To Capitalize Freaking Everything. Java typically only capitalizes Types, but C# capitalizes Method Names as well.

It's like it was created by somebody who either likes German, or Olde-Timey English Writing.
