> How fast is Ruby, lately?
I did recent testing that showed it to be faster than Python but slower than Lua: Lua, Ruby and Python ran my benchmark in 12, 18 and 25 seconds respectively.
This was measured using the latest versions of each language (5.4, 3.4 and 3.13), using only the interpreters, no JITs.

It looks like the relative performance of the three languages hasn't changed much since I did a similar benchmark with Ruby 2.0, about that long ago.

A little more detail would be helpful.
luajit likely still smokes it then
Yeah, LuaJIT and PyPy run it in about 2 seconds. I haven't tried a Ruby JIT though.
