power lines to improve the electricity in a residential neighborhood November 2, 2006 in Kabul, Afghanistan. Almost five years after the fall of the Taliban, most Afghans still don't have sufficient power while many have none. The demand continues to increase, but the supply is not near enough in a city that has grown from about 500,000 to around 4 million people.
“In some ways, this makes a lot of sense because it means developers can go fast, re-use existing building blocks and get code out into the wild quickly. In other ways, it’s not so great, because teams and individual engineers usually don’t know the efficiency or performance of the libraries that they are using, so any performance lags or glitches will propagate,” advised Masse.
Consequently, says Masse, if any given IT deployment has a less power-efficient facility, but it’s run on purely green energy, it’s better to use that, rather than one which is highly power-efficient, but running on energy from coal. Also he adds, no matter where in the world a computer server is assembled, the carbon footprint of its manufacturing will be approximately the same ...
“Some programming languages are intrinsically more efficient and high-performance than others. Rust and C are high-performance, because they run at a morethan languages like Perl, PHP and Python. At a basic level, they have the power to do impactful things, without fuss. Some languages – looking at you, Java – are more memory intensive, and a lot of places tend to avoid them, even if they can be very good at what they do,” said Masse.
