You don't just want the average of all other languages.
You'd want to somehow codify the effectiveness of each language. Like add up stats on frequency and severity of errors, maybe by time spent either developing or repairing per desired product, and use that as a metric of overhead.
For the language to be useful, it has to be useful to humans not just ais.
Otherwise the only use we could get out of something like that is maybe an ai could use it to write down a portable version of itself or anything else, which we could "use" only to store, replicate, & reconstitute whatever the ai wrote.
