I replied using my phone and couldn't see your original comment for reference. Yes, your list contains more compiled languages.

Of those, I'm not very comfortable with using C and C++ for backend development. Their lack of automated memory safety measures is an issue for services that are exposed to the internet. (To be clear, memory safety isn't the only type of safety required). Swift may be a fine choice. (I'm unfamiliar with it.)

JVM languages like Java, Kotlin and Scala are all compiled languages, but I'm unsure how well they satisfy what I said before. To repeat, what matters is energy efficiency and resource utilization (not speed). I hope that somebody can provide an insight into how much overhead they incur on account of running in a VM.
