Energy Efficiency across Programming Languages

greenlab.di.uminho.pt/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/sleFinal.pdf

In this paper, we first present an analysis and comparison of

the energy efficiency of 27 well-known software languages
from the popular software repository The Computer Lan-
guage Benchmarks Game. We are able to show which were the
most energy efficient software languages, execution types,
and paradigms across 10 different benchmark problems.

C wins in every regard. Other compiled languages perform very well too.
