Ruby 2.4 and Python 3.6 are the same speed unless you're using a super-optimised library such as numpy. In fact, for string parsing Ruby is faster than Python due to its superior regex implementation. PHP 7, on the other hand, is much faster than Python or Ruby. I don't know how Zend pulled it off.
