Here's a site I think is at least as cool as that:

"The Great Computer Language Shootout":
http://www.bagley.org/~doug/shootout/

authors submitting faster code, but most are just a direct translation of 
the algorithm into a program in each language according to (mostly) each 
language's prevalent idioms.
