Also interesting is how much memory is allocated running the empty program (detected with Valgrind):

    Lua 5.1.4: 34k allocated, all memory freed.
    Perl 5.10: 195k allocated (140k leaked!)
    Ruby 1.8.7: 670k allocated (665kb still reachable at exit)
    OpenJDK 6: 1.5M allocated (1M in use at exit).
    Python 2.6.5: 3M allocated (1.2MB in use at exit)
