C:    3 hours to write the program, 5 hours to track down the memory leaks
Java: 4 hours to write the program, 6 hours to get all the exception 
      handling right
C++   5 hours to write the program after reading Stroustrup for 6 hours

Just kidding, of course.

Also note that Python programmers write more lines/hour which they need to 
finish in the same time as Perl programmers :-D.
