They don't have an actual online judge system, all problems simply have an integer or floating point solution and they just check that you've found the value.
The only metric that matters is who solved the problem first after publication, e.g.: https://projecteuler.net/fastest=454[]. The "language" in which problems were solved is just whatever the user put in their profile, they can't actually confirm that.
<Project Euler> problems typically involve finding or proving and then using a <lemma (mathematics)> that makes computation of the solution feasible without brute force. As such, they live in the intersection of mathematics and computer science.
List of just the solution values:

Code solutions by individuals:
* https://euler.stephan-brumme.com/
* https://www.nayuki.io/page/project-euler-solutions
* https://www.ivl-projecteuler.com/home
Basically no one ever had the patience to solve them all. What we need is a collaborative solution.

https://projecteuler.net says it started as a subsection in mathschallenge.net, and in 2006 moved to its own domain. <WhoisXMLAPI> WHOIS history says it was registered by domainmonster.com but details are anonymous. TODO: sample problem on mathschallenge.net on <Wayback Machine>? Likely wouldn't reveal much anyways though as there is no attribution to problem authors on that site.
https://www.hackerrank.com/contests/projecteuler/challenges holds challenges with an actual judge and sometimes multiple test cases so just printing the final solution number is not enough.
