Ranking of the most energy-efficient programming languages

After seeing this a couple years ago I started to be more responsible for my PHP code, writing it even with the slightest micro-optimizations possible, since more times people use my code (especially due to nature of PHP being executed in every http request), more energicity they waste because of my lazyness and more they pollute the planet. JIT was NOT included in this experiment, so the number can be much more lower.
I hope you will be responsible for your code so on too (generally I mean people using interpreted languages).
Without any information how this test result got achieved. It's kind of useless. It's like to read the headline of a paper. So sure you should question the accuracy of this image. But i would agree it's fun to look at it
But the paper is right there in the post

Maybe i was blind, haven't seen it. Thx, I look into it because i'm curious, but it's long, so need first some time for it
