What is the fastest language that runs on the JVM?
Scala? Groovy? JRuby?
277
For the typical (median) values, there is no significant difference between the various JDKs except for OpenJDK 11 which is about 30% slower than the other versions. The fastest of them all is GraalVM EE 17, but the difference compared to OpenJDK 8/OpenJDK 17 is marginal.
C++ is one of the most efficient and fastest languages. It is widely used by competitive programmers for its execution speed and Standard Template Libraries(STL).
See the Computer Language Benchmarks Game:
Java is very fast.
Scala almost as fast.
JRuby is 10-30 times slower.
Groovy is slow too.

Java.
Really, though, for the most part the speed difference will be negligible. Static languages will be faster than dynamic languages, but not by much.
