In that Tencent study less common languages got easier problems. Which explains why racket also performed suspiciously well in it. The authors recognize the problem themselves. I like elixir, but it's imo embarrassing how often elixir people cite that study despite it not actually supporting what they claim.
That showed about what we expect, that popular languages like python, javascript, java, C#, etc do best, while less popular languages like Common Lisp, Ocaml, Zig, etc do slightly worse. But the difference is small enough I'd still just choose whatever language and ecosystem I know best that is appropriate for a project.

A much more recent and imo more realistic comparison of different languages with ai, is openai's study reimplementing sqlite in different languages: https://openai.com/index/low-resource-programming-languages/
