Try the programming languages shootout.

Good luck.

Try the C language standard.

They would probably skip it, recognizing that undertaking this
project with the goal of comparing two languages was fraught
with methodological difficulties and likely to be a complete
waste of time. Assuming that by virtue of a wetware bug they
did decide to take it on, they would probably start by writing the
code and then post their take on the results rather than posting
first and waiting in breathless anticipation for the inevitably
snarky replies of their inferiors.
