This paper compares a large set of programming languages regarding their efficiency, including from an energetic point-of-view. Indeed, we seek to est…
I agree, but if you take away the hard numbers from this (which you should) all you’re left with is what we all already knew from experience: fast languages are more energy efficient, C, Rust, Go, Java etc. are fast; Python, Ruby etc. are super slow.
They provide the specific implementations used here: https://github.com/greensoftwarelab/Energy-Languages
I dislike the “I thought of something that may be an issue therefore just dismiss all of the work without thinking” approach.
