(Select all that apply)	Before this survey, were you aware of the environmental impact of software (e.g., energy use, carbon emissions)?	How important do you think it is to consider sustainability when developing software?	How important do you think energy efficiency / carbon footprint should be when choosing a runtime?	Have you ever consciously chosen a programming language, library, or execution model for sustainability reasons?	Which of the following Python execution models have you used? (Select all that apply)	In your professional opinion, which runtime is most practical for sustainable large-scale use?	Do you agree that integrating C code with Python (e.g., via Foreign Function Interfaces like ctypes) provides the most sustainable solution among Python execution methods, by balancing energy efficiency, runtime performance, and ease of development?	Based on your understanding, how relevant do you find GreenScore for evaluating software sustainability?	Do you think combining energy, carbon, and runtime into one score is effective?	What factors do you think should be considered in software sustainability metrics? (Select up to 3)	How likely is it that a metric like GreenScore would influence your software development choices?	Do you think choosing a Python execution method with the best GreenScore contributes to creating sustainable software?	What improvements or additions would you suggest for GreenScore?

Yes	I wasn’t very familiar with GreenScore, though I’ve heard that Python consumes much more energy than most mainstream programming runtimes. I think more research is needed in this field, and I’m uncertain how much environmental benefit can result from these developer compromises on a global scale, or whether the trade-off is worth it. Still, having a mindset focused on saving the environment is great, I suppose.
