Hello,
About Nuclear fusion and about energy efficiency..
I am a white arab and a more serious computer programmer that has
invented many scalable algorithms and there implementations, so we have
to be smarter, so read my following post:
Memory is a negligible factor in energy efficiency, because it uses very
little power (we're for example talking less than 3 watts per stick in a
laptop). So the CPU is taking much much more energy than memory, this is
why you can rethink computing by using reversible algorithms "or" more
reversible algorithms, read about how to do it here in this paper:
Energy-Efficient Algorithms
https://arxiv.org/abs/1605.08448
Also read the following about the programming languages energy efficiency:
Energy efficiency isn’t just a hardware problem. Your programming
language choices can have serious effects on the efficiency of your
energy consumption. We dive deep into what makes a programming language
energy efficient.
As the researchers discovered, the CPU-based energy consumption always
represents the majority of the energy consumed.
What Pereira et. al. found wasn’t entirely surprising: speed does not
always equate energy efficiency. Compiled languages like C, C++, Rust,
and Ada ranked as some of the most energy efficient languages out there.
Read the more here and you will notice that Java is one of the most
energy-efficient languages, Python among least energy efficient, and
Pascal and Object Pascal of FreePascal is scoring as Java on energy
efficiency:

Also RAM is still expensive and slow, relative to CPUs
And "memory" usage efficiency is important for mobile devices.
So Delphi and FreePascal compilers are also still "useful" for mobile
devices, because Delphi and FreePascal are good if you are considering
time and memory or energy and memory, and the following pascal benchmark
was done with FreePascal, and the benchmark shows that C, Go and Pascal
do rather better if you’re considering languages based on time and
memory or energy and memory.

Also Delphi is still better for many things, and you have to get more
"technical" to understand it, this is why you have to look at this
following video about Delphi that is more technical:
Why are C# Developers choosing Delphi to create Mobile applications

Yet we have to be more smartness..
I have posted before about Reversible algorithms and how they bring a
lot of energy efficiency..
But i have thought rapidly about that, and i think that we
have not be crazy about Reversible algorithms and rethink
computing with them, because Nuclear fusion will be here
fast, and the scientists anticipate the output of fusion energy would be
more than twice the power used to heat the plasma, achieving the
ultimate technical milestone: positive net energy from fusion, and as
you have noticed on the following webpage that i think this can be
"exponential", since the output is a positive energy and a double
of the input energy from fusion, so we can feed the output to another
input and so on and so on and get exponentially much more energy with
fusion, so no need to completly rethink computing with Reversible
algorithms, read the following to notice it:
