An article was written a while back about how neural networks can be used to classify source code. Yes the source code that you write to feed to compilers / interpreters.

The article explains at a high level what method could be used to perform this activity. In the end the author claims some level of success and wonders how other neural-network implementations / techniques would solve the same problem. This got me curious enough and I spent a weekend trying to crack this with Neuroph, the neural network library for java. I present to you my analysis and results below. For the impatient here is the code-classifier DEMO.
