> The most popular languages are the least energy efficient and most resource intensive. This is mostly incorrect. Of the top 10 programming languages on GitHub [1] only Python, Ruby and PHP are commonly used with an interpreter. The rest are all AOT or JIT compiled. I also suspect a large fraction of the Python projects are also data science / ML projects that heavily use packages like NumPy and TensorFlow that offload most of the work to highly optimized math libraries. I also suspect if you were to look into the programming languages used by the companies with the most servers, they would skew more towards languages like Java and C++, or custom things like Facebook's Hack / HHVM.
