Studying front-end web development, I'm constantly writing web snippets in a variety of different languages. It would be awesome if you could add a small language indicator in the top right hand corner (or somewhere else unobtrusive) of the code block, so that when you have consecutive blocks in various languages (especially similar looking ones) you can tell at a glance what you have in front of you.
The line 1 //Language name workaround is okay, but if I accidentally selected the wrong language it might make later reuse of the code frustrating (trying to copy LESS code into a CSS file, for example).
I know this might not benefit your experienced coders, but should be useful for students (I know it will help me).
