Exactly. You've expressed what I couldn't find the words to say.

I love C, but the shear amount of CVE and crashes are much worse in terms of global energy usage than if it were safe. I imagine the strongest strong-typing ranking that can be saved would come from Swift, where Rust's compile time would tank its ranking...

It may be that the energy drain of bugs simply eclipses the compile/run overhead of all these languages in nearly all use cases.
