A benchmark I would like to see is a comparison of languages in terms of how fast they are to beginners vs experts. I've been thinking about how to design it to get that result. What I think would work is taking something like these simple puzzles and have maybe a hundred people write up different solutions, so we can compare them using the programmer's level of expertise as one of the factors.
