I have suggested in the past a system where each page comparing
languages has a drop down list box, with a list of categories,
for example 'popular', 'functional', 'compiled', 'bytecode', etc
for the languages. Ideally there would also be a way to set your
individual preferences too, for example a list of all the languages
and a checkbox for each, just tick the ones you want to compare.
However making this personal data persistent may be more
extra work than just making the category persistent (I don't 
really know)

Perhaps something like 'the top 10' songs. That's 
the top 10 rock, metal, hip-hop, R&B, jazz, classical ...
