- austinjp 4y agoI'm not sure about "harshly censured", but I have actually started looking at Python alternatives with the explicit goal of energy efficiency. Another route I've been keenly pursuing is aggressively reducing download sizes in web apps I build: JS, images, HTML, CSS, the lot. No web fonts. I'm exploring Svelte as a means to reduce the JS component too, so client energy consumption due to JS ops is reduced. These can all seem like trivial micro-optimisations, but "cloud computing" is a bloated monster. Billions of web app interactions per day and a few kB here and there soon add up.
