You could theoretically do it with just about any language (or maybe combination of languages, if some lack needed features), but I'd think the easiest (at no significant cost to efficiency) way is a single tool that will read the logs, extract and process the desired data, write it to a database, and stick it all into a web page; i.e., PHP and similar.
Thanks Jack, you make a lot of sense there.
I was just curious because the idea of having a ladder seemed like a good way to get a community involved and compete in a fun way.
