	Ok... guess this isn't about the Indonesian island.

	I'm a C++ guy, but I'm kinda shocked that 'unsigned' isn't a keyword?!

	I was once an RPG guy. Never seen a line of Java code. I only got 9 out of 50

	Ouch... I haven't written a word of Java ever, though I know other languages, so I should've known what to try. Me missing "public", "private", "static", "throw" (when I got try, catch and finally), and even "void" was pathetic, though.

	Surprised this one got published, you really have to be a programmer to get well...anything. I used to use this quiz occasionally to test myself but while I have extensive Java experience, just reciting the keywords I always found difficult. I know what the keyword is when I need to use it, which is what's important. Though the Java nerdiness in me really comes out when I know that const and goto are reserved keywords, even though they are actually unused.

	@moegoldberg: The fact that Java lacks unsigned versions of the integer types is actually something that frustrates most people that come from a C++ background. Bit manipulations are so rare in Java that it's not a huge detractor in practice...you aren't going to write a device driver in Java, e.g.

	@mcritic: From the source: true, false, and null might seem like keywords, but they are actually literals; you cannot use them as identifiers in your programs.

	I thought this was about coffee. Not suprisingly I scored zero. Is that one of the words?

	I've had this favorited for a while now - nice to see it was published :-)

	Am I, uh, the only one who thought it was coffee? Went through, like 20 terms before I realized I wasn't getting points... C:

	25 :D My evil programming teacher is helpful sometimes. . .

	Not an easy quiz at all in my opinion. Being an "oldie" the only programming language that I am familiar with is Basic. I was hoping that commands such as "next", "gosub" et al would be on here, but.....
