> It's slower than Ruby. Any reference/numbers to back this up ? Just genuinely curious about this.

  Basically any benchmark that uses just the language. Throw some loops and maths in there. It doesn't really matter though, both languages are used typically for scripting. But just shows it's not really about the "language", it's about the ecosystem.

  In all the language comparisons I've found over the years, Python consistently comes out slightly slower, for example: https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks Bearing in mind these are probably not even using YJIT, which makes Ruby considerably faster in some scenarios.

    Ruby used to be slower though, during the 1.8.7 times. But that was a long time ago now.
