"This paper presents a study of the runtime, memory usage and energy
consumption of twenty seven well-known software languages. We monitor
the performance of such languages using ten different programming
problems, expressed in each of the languages. Our results show
interesting findings, such as, slower/faster languages consuming
less/more energy, and how memory usage influences energy consumption.
We show how to use our results to provide software engineers support
to decide which language to use when energy efficiency is a concern."

Pascal ranks well.

Interestingly, pascal is not object-oriented:

Thanks for information. I wonder ;
4 years have passed, which is a very long time for the software world.
Do you think these results are still valid?

Oh, they have a newer paper. Here's pre-printed dated Dec 2020:
