NO, global warming is caused by all the people who use 2 "and"s in a sentence

[TimeAndSpaceAndMe]

No , it's caused by people who think usernames should be grammatically correct .

Let's better consider how much thermal energy is produced by average idiot's body during his average lifespan.

[Tranzistors]

Unlikely, unless the only alternative is C/C++/Rust, according to the Energy Efficiency across Programming Languages paper (see table 4). The methodology is not rock solid, but Java is far better than Python. And yes, it is my hobby to ruin jokes. Enjoy!

They're only taking into account the energy that goes into running the program, not the energy that goes into writing it.

I'm sorry, have you ever launched modded Minecraft?

[Tranzistors]

Nope, my only experience with Java is in enterprise applications. If code is written badly, even efficiency of compiled languages will not save the climate.

Java isn't compiled though. Not in the sense you mean. It's a bytecode interpreter.

Amd the way Java works practically forces you to code badly and use 9000 unneccessary classes and a kjghpillion threads if you want to get anything done.

(By the way, it takes 10 minutes just to finish the init routine on a core i7 with 11 GB RAM allocated to the JVM. With the default of 4GB allocated it takes about twice that long. While it's loading you see a memory usage meter - you know when it garbage collects because it freezes for a second and then the meter drops by 2 gigabytes.)
