This article has a number of issues. JS with JIT is waaay faster than Python. Not “between python and java” as purported. Second, generalizing jits as “un-ergonomic” seems silly given that what’s being specifically looked at is benchmarking. But what makes this claim ridiculous is that nothing is easy to benchmark. Even native code is hard to profile and this is literally my day job. If the JIT makes your code that much faster, this strikes me as a pretty suspect complaint
