If you forced me to conduct best language olympics, the process I would use might look something like this:
1. Each team develops the same vertical slice of the business in their ecosystem of choice.
2. Test officials will make an edit to each codebase (somehow invisible to git history) that introduces a subtle bug. Alternatively, they may propose a small feature enhancement.
3. Time how long it takes each team to get a corrected/updated build deployed & re-tested successfully.
4. Go to 2 until statisticians are satisfied with the results.
