> JS VMs are generally better engineered than Ruby VMs due to more investment Is that still true? Shopify is investing a whole lot (u don't need me to tell u of course). Yes I know Google/Firefox etc had teams working on JS but did they invest that much more than Shopify?

Yes, both in terms of money and dev-hours, I wouldn’t be surprised if Google put 2 orders of magnitude more resources into V8. Nonetheless, Shopify’s investment into truffleruby may well be worth it, as it builds on top of the many many work-hours that went into the JVM.
