Even more clickbaity title would have been "Python consumes 70x more energy than Rust"

[thumbuddy]

Yea but it's HN you can't mention Rust just being rust without a bunch of people losing their minds over the fact that someone said "Rust".

"We are the knights who say Rust!"

Everything consumes more energy than C

[thumbuddy]

Sometimes I wonder if that's true long term. The amount of bugs, security issues, and code churn surrounding C code bases is pretty wild. If everybody and all their deployments has to recompile a C code base 100 times over the course of three years to get patches, fixes, etc it makes me wonder what the real cost of C is?

My intuition states that this isn't the case, but intuition can be wrong.

Most people don't run Gentoo so binaries are only compiled once.

[SomeRndName11]

no, VHDL and Verilog consume less

[seba_dos1]

C is not low-level enough for it to be even remotely true.

Except ASM, AVX etc.

And, see above, Fortran.
