You might be interested in this comparison of programming languages:

It maps out some of the common programming languages by speed, code size etc.

It is an interesting article coming from a Computer Science Major, but I see the lack of logical programming languages.  I only saw 2 examples being Lisp and Python.  I did not see any Prolog or the like.  I would have liked to have seen how a logical programming language stacked up to the object oriented languages.

Lisp and Python are not logic programming languages. Lisp is a functional programming language and Python is procedural, OO.
