FWIW I read it as the opposite. I think most of the stuff he benched was explicitly not benching V8 against JSC. This is all me reading between the lines .. maybe you know more about JS runtimes than I do and can confirm/deny my theories? Package manager perf: Bun (presumably) wrote a C++ or zig package manager that's integrated, and speaks NPM. I guess you could aruge that this benches their fast one against the npms V8 runtime, but.. that's a bit of a stretch for me. Copying large files: I'd be surprised if any of the benched distributions rely on the javascript runtimes to copy files on disk. HTTP Requests: Maybe distributions actually call into JSC/V8 for these .. I have no idea. I'd guess not, but this one sounds the most plausible case for "benching V8 against JSC".
