That'll never work though.
'Just the plain code' to me isn't 'just the plain code' to you.
Ideally, a Git repo somewhere with a lot of benchmarks that the
community can edit and make better. Over time (assuming the repo
becomes somewhat popular) all benchmarking programs will use each
language to it's fullest - thus giving accurate, comparable
results across the board.
