I wonder how it performs with detecting C vs C++ vs ObjC vs ObjC++ and for bonus points: the common C/C++ subset (which is an incompatible C fork), also extra bonus points for detecting language version compatibility (e.g. C89 vs C99 vs C11...).

Separating C from C++ and ObjC is where the file type detection on Github traditionally had problems with (but has been getting dramatically better over time), from an "AI-powered" solution which has been trained on the entire internet I would expect to do better right from the start.

The list here doesn't even mention any of those languages except C though:
