The hypothetical is what would an advanced intelligence programed source
code in Java look like using a conventional computer? An advanced alien race
WOULD NOT be using Java obviously...

Simple. More intelligence means less energy expended to achieve goals via
executed code, in general. Do you not agree with this? Or would there be
MORE energy expended generally while execution is taking place in more
intelligently written source code given the same OS and hardware? Energy
expended as in bits flipped...

What do you really expect? Without being sour... Does anyone here claim to
have solved what to expect with this?
