When we choose programming languages, we usually decide based on their syntax, performances, or even learning curve. Yet, a few years ago a group of Portuguese researchers investigated the energy consumption of ๐ฎ๐ณ ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฝ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฎ๐บ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐, ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฒ๐

Abstract: This paper presents a study of the runtime, memory usage, and energy consumption of twenty-seven well-known software languages. We monitor the performance of such languages using ten different programming problems, expressed in each of the languages. Our results show interesting findings, such as slower/faster languages consuming less/more energy, and how memory usage influences energy consumption. We show how to use our results to provide software engineers support to decide which language to use when energy efficiency is a concern.
