On: 1B nested loop iterations

I'm surprised to see javascript so high up on the list! I would have thought PHP was faster, honestly. But I did run the benchmark in my browser and saw that the browser JS in chrome is slightly slower than Deno at ~1.2-1.3s. Even though firefox runs closer to 3 seconds, I'm still surprised that browser js is that much faster than some of those closer to the metal.

It’s impressive but even more interesting, it could still be faster! Java is JIT at #3, so theoretically any of these languages could get there.

It doesn't use PHP's jit
