may I suggest something like: 
http://dada.perl.it/shootout/lang_overview.html ?

it was something I never really finished, but you can get the idea.

IMHO, instead of building a huge list of all potential flavours of 
languages (eg interpreted, compiled, bytecoded, bytecoded but JITted, 
etc.) we would do better by assigning to each language (implementation) 
a series of flags. something like:

- can be interpreted: YES/NO
- requires compilation: YES/NO
- produces bytecode: YES/NO
- produces native executables: YES/NO
- requires a runtime library: YES/NO
- does JIT compilation: YES/NO
- ....

cheers,
Aldo
