There are many things to consider in addition to just JS, like bloated frameworks, dependency hell, startup times... yeah a single benchmark may not show much difference, but when you consider everything else there is a noticeable difference between a JavaScript CLI app and Go/C CLI app.. I can visibly even see a difference for CLI, but my process manager clearly shows any desktop GUI use for JavaScript is severely less performant than most native counterparts.
