#14One should always be skeptical of these sorts of benchmarks, especially against Java, and I say this as primarily a Java developer. Well optimized Java is very lean and can be incredibly performant, but the median modern Java app is an obese cronenberg made out of gigabytes of SpringBoot dependencies. That's not particularly fast; and well optimized python will run circles around it.
A spring boot app will generally be very performant. It will indeed use more memory though.

#16Does this table take into account energy used while developing/maintaining?
The deployment and consumption of said code matters a lot for that.

Fortran is a beast. People crap on it all the time yet use it often millions of times a day without realizing it.
only clueless people looking for clout online!
