Apart from the main subject of whether energy consumption tells us anything meaningful, Whenever I see such benchmarks withoud D and Nim, I feel like the readers will get a skewed view, and with each such benchmark this view will be reinforced. My gut feeling would be that these two languages would be between C and C++ (at least some other benchmarks place them there), but it would be good to have it confirmed.
- a9h74j 6y agoYes, and another interesting benchmark could involve "how much energy and time to compile (or start up) equivalent programs written in different languages?" Based upon its design philosophy (fast compilation) I would expect D to rank quite well. OTOH there could be a Jenkins paradox where faster compilation results in more compiler consumption (e.g., iterative development). As you say (and I see a comment above addressing this) what are we optimizing for?
