And can we conclude that ‘Assembler/Assembly Code’ are the most greenest or are most environment friendly.

I am a QA professional at Zenesys Technosys (India).

Thanks

True a shared resource might be beneficial, but the jury is out on this.

Interpretive languages like Python are bound to use more power. JIT code like Java is also power hungry. Compiled code producing loadable programs must win the battle for being the greenest. The crown has to go to assembler code linked into a loadable module. This is because the code is optimised by nature. For example the use of registers for loop control. It does depend on the developer at the end of the day, but assembler will generally beat all other languages.
