Let’s think about this for a moment… Programming languages form the foundation for software. We use them to develop interfaces, server applications, apps, processes, interfaces and much more. Both when creating the software and when using the finished program, the programmer must translate the intended processes to the hardware in the computer, tablet or smartphone.
If this works well, the thing consumes little energy, if it works badly, the fan runs hot and the battery runs out quickly.

Studies(https://greenlab.di.uminho.pt/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/sleFinal.pdf) show that subsequent energy consumption is not only influenced by the heroic achievements of software developers, but also starts with the choice of programming language. Some programming languages are much better at implementing what the developer has built on hardware than others.

Is this just a funny mind game or is there something serious behind it?
The IEA(https://network-king.net/de/power-play-der-zukunft-rechenzentren-weltweit-vor-verdopplung-ihrer-energie-nachfrage-bis-2026/) estimates the global energy consumption generated by calculations in data centers alone at over 200TWh per year. That’s 200 billion kWh. This does not take into account all our smartphones, tables, computers, routers, all the stuff at home that somehow “calculates”.
