Maybe as a general purpose language, but for this specific comparison (extending editors). Elisp and Emacs wins. Vimscript is not the best plugin language, but the interation process is way better than VSC.

What other metrics should we consider when comparing, API complexity, LOC for average plugins, google results?
I think if we had a reasonable baseline for comparison, it would be helpful.
