Wondering if there's a typo or I misunderstand something, but isn't one of these 10^18 bigger than the other? That would be a pretty big ballpark.

I think I get why C++ thru C are all similar (all compile to similar assembly?), but I don't get why Go thru maybe Racket are all in what looks like a pretty narrow clump. Is there a common element there?

I think this is spot on. I bought a new EV 6 months ago. I brag about paying less than $0.03/mile even with a large EV, but it's completely dependent on charging in my garage and being on a plan that reduces my night-time electric
