You know, despite what everyone else has said, I don't think this is a
homework problem.  I really don't; I think that the stated intent is
more or less an accurate reflection of what you think you are doing.

That is, this is probably at least in part an attempt to mimic the
study published here:
  http://www.flownet.com/gat/papers/lisp-java.pdf
but with different languages.  While I suppose that such a study could
be interesting, and I might want to participate in such, I don't trust
you at all to carry one out.

Why?

Frankly, your posting history leads me to believe that you haven't
developed the proper sense of perspective necessary to manage a study
of this type.  I also am unconvinced that you have plans in place now
to handle the data you receive back.  Although I might participate in
a study that would form the bulk of a peer-reviewed paper, I have no
desire to submit code to a "study" that, so far as I can see, would
end up nowhere.  I get enough of that experience (writing code that
then never gets used anywhere) at work.
