I find it kind of funny and rather llazy that they don't dig into deeper as to why there's such disparity between programming languages.
To me, it's probably that the questions are geared towards Python/Ruby, rather than C++. For example, parsing a CSV is one line of code in Python/Ruby by default, but if you're supposed to do this in C++, that alone can take 10 mins to write and test, etc.
If they really want to make their test/evaluation fair, and if they truly want to be inclusive in the languages, they should figure out why there is such disparity, it's probably with the questions they ask rather than the candidates. To me, looking at these numbers, it just means that were I ever to interview with them (I never will because I think they offer no benefits whatsoever, since I don't want to interview with them, and then with the external companies again when I can just go with the external companies the first time), I would just choose Python or Ruby to interview in, since the tests appear more geared to those languages.
