> dynamically typed "scripting" languages that are much faster than PHP and Python (JRuby ? http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/compare.php?lang=pyth

  That's not the graal backend. The TruffleRuby project uses Graal to make JRuby much, much faster. I don't know what the specific information, but generally "competitive with Java" is my understanding. Perhaps "TruffleRuby" is the name I should have used; it's not apparent and I'm only nominally familiar with the project.

    Current Status: "TruffleRuby is progressing fast but is currently probably not ready for you to try running your full Ruby application on." https://github.com/graalvm/truffleruby#current-status https://github.com/graalvm/truffleruby#current-status

      Ok, I was wrong about Ruby, but my point stands--Python and PHP are not even "speed demons" of the so-called scripting languages.
