>JS with JIT kicks the pants off of almost everything --- because it is compiled down to native machine code. Go look them up for yourself.

The term "Just-in-time compilation" was borrowed from the manufacturing term "Just in time" and popularized by Java, with James Gosling using the term from 1993.[16] Currently JITing is used by most implementations of the Java Virtual Machine, as HotSpot builds on, and extensively uses, this research base.

Java definitely has room for improvement but claiming that JS is better or faster is hilarious and makes me wonder what you are trying to sell.

JS seems fast if you only compare it to Python and PHP.
