Dynamic Languages Faster and Cheaper in 13-Language Claude Code Benchmark

Claude Code was benchmarked across 13 programming languages implementing a simplified Git system. Dynamic languages like Ruby, Python, and JavaScript proved fastest and cheapest at $0.36-$0.39 per run, while statically-typed languages cost 1.4-2.6x more. Adding typecheckers to dynamic languages increased costs 1.6-3.2x, revealing significant performance trade-offs in AI code generation efficiency.
