Python is one of the most popular programming languages in the world. Dutch software company\u2019s programming language index<\/a> for 2021 also indicates that.<\/p>\n

But is it one of the most energy-efficient coding languages out there? Not really. A study<\/a> from researchers of Universidade do Minho, Portugal (first spotted by hackaday<\/a>) says that Python is just better than Perl in terms of energy consumed while performing certain tasks. It notes that C tops the chart followed by Rust, C++, and Ada.<\/p>\n

Researchers used 10 popular algorithms from the Computer Language Benchmarks Game (CLBG)<\/a>, to measure the energy consumption, runtime, and memory usage of 27 well-known coding languages. You can check out the results in the table below:<\/p>\n
