Is there a safe and productive language that produces binaries that run fast? Between the rising energy prices and CO2 pollution it would be very irresponsible to use languages like Python or Ruby.

Go help you save more CO2 by compiling your code in a blink
Yeah, fast compilation (like C has) helps.
Yes, Rust.
You're right. I actually managed to skip over "small" in front of "binaries", so that's my mistake, but for fat binaries with decent performance Rust is a great language, as long as you don't care about glacial development speed.
