I'd like to see a study that compares Python and Ruby, against (1) Rust, (2) C, (3) C++, (4) Zig, (5) Go, (6) a JVM language (like Scala or Kotlin or Clojure), and (7) the main CLR language (C#).

I would imagine that all 7 of them absolutely trounce Python and Ruby.

Python and Ruby have been an immense environmental (and type safety) disaster.

JS though (via V8 and other engines) has been surprisingly fast. I've always wondered why Python and others couldn't copy some of the tricks V8 uses to be fast...
