   How the heck is JS lighter than Perl?

   Get the pitchforks and torches! XD

   P.S. What the crap, Rust is #2? Have they ever tried compiling rust?!? It requires its own nuclear reactor!! 😄

     I figured, but man, that's annoying.
     It's one thing if it's compiled "once" and run a million times, but when compiling it yourself is the only option (like in the case of a lot of minor projects), rust is decidedly *not* environment-friendly, I don't care what the hype machine says.

     @RL_Dane @dexter I think they're talking about the energy usage of running the already compiled code, which is somewhat fair, but decidedly not the whole picture.
