What programming language is Mark Zuckerberg using at the start of the movie The Social Network?
Java
Perl
Scottish
Python

no idea, not seen it, doubt I'd know! Other entries are possible.

Just entered Perl in the widget and the button went green and it's showing as another entry. Java also made the continue button green, so it might be a trick question as mr zuckerberg uses multiple computer languages. It's probably not Scottish!

The answer looks to be 'perl' according to: https://www.computerworld.com/article/2469461/web-apps/where-s-the-tech-in-the-social-network-.html

HeyerFan
