C is one of the top languages in terms of speed, memory and energy

it's crazy how efficient javascript has gotten

I'm assuming C is for compiled, V for virtual machine, I for interpreted.
Dart for sure is compiled, i think requiring a VM to run. It's a bit weird, but definitely not interpreted, unless you transpile to JavaScript.
Also, couldn't read the whole paper, but the numbers for Python are rather staggering. I remember reading on performance and there were massive differences between CPython, PyPy and a third one I can't recall. And that's surely to impact energy consumption.

No assembly?

Welcome to the C community!
C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.
... When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
... The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

For those who don't want to open threads, it's a link to a paper on energy efficiency of programming languages.
