I mean Truffle Ruby is as fast as V8 already and MRI yJIT and jRuby are catching up fast.
It could also be argued that JVM is the gold standard JIT.
I think that shows that Google doesn’t have a monopoly on great JIT engineers.
According to which benchmark? At my hand [1], node is ~60% faster than TruffleRuby and over an order of magnitude faster than yjit v3.3.0.

v8 and node are 15 years old. That's when this actually mattered and js on the backend took off.
