> A fair comparison between languages should include the make and build times if you do that, you should also include programming time, and divide both by the number of runs the code will have over its lifetime. Also add an appropriate fraction of the time needed to learn to program. In such a challenge, that likely would make a very naive version win. Apart from being impractical, I think that would be against the idea behind this challenge.
