To be fair, Ruby YJIT can still somehow be slower than Python 3.11+ at times. Lua JIT is a bit of a separate effort and the ones that truly try the hardest here are Julia (which is not necessarily interpreted, it's really difficult to call it a pure scripting language at this point) and JavaScript engine implementations. I can see pretty good numbers for SBCL on BenchmarksGame too.
Yes, but it isn't the only one, the oldest Ruby JIT goes back to Ruby Motion, still being sold.
I would not put Julia and Common Lisp on the scripting basket yep.
