  I'll add a few to the missing list:

  - Coq

  - Unison

  - Inko

  - Gren

  - SkookumScript (https://skookumscript.com/)

  Also the many tiny hobby languages posted on https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/ and sometimes to HN/Lobsters.

  You could add a feature that, every time a language isn't recognized, it's saved and the user can submit a URL to prove its existence.

  Missing (at least) :

  - Algol : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algol_(langage) - VHDL : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHDL

  Missing so many languages.

  I mean, it's fun, but it's missing at least these:

  Z80, 6502, M68K, sh, csh, fexl, snafl, algol, PL/1, Z, C99, ForTran99, ...

  It recognises bash but not sh or csh.

  Still, a bit of fun.
