from 2001 to 2003 I used to run the (now OBSOLETED, abandoned, unsupported and unmantained) Great Win32 Computer Language Shootout. it was basically a Win32 port of the original work by Doug Bagley with some added languages. my interest was mainly in comparing simple programs written in different languages, with benchmarking (measuring execution time and memory usage) as a secondary and funny activity. the idea has nowadays been reimplemented in the Computer Language Benchmark Game, but with less focus in comparing languages and with completely different benchmark programs.
by popular request, I've set up a page on cooking Biscotti, the Italian dunking cookies. given the regional specificity of the topic, the page is currently only available in Italian.
