Python3+ and PHP7+ are faster than Ruby though. Maybe they were comparing modern ruby to 10 year old PHP/Python?

Faster based on what benchmark?

PHP vs Ruby https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... Python vs Ruby (mixed results) https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

You seem to be claiming that —

35 minutes cpu for a 200 line Ruby fannkuch-redux program

— is "jit not having enough time to kick in"?
