NodeJS/V8 is faster than CPython for obvious reasons - V8 is JIT compiled while CPython is not. PyPy closes the gap.

LuaJIT made the news for having an interpreter that beat V8’s JIT a while ago. There are a lot of traits about languages and their implementations that makes looking at their compiler features a poor way of determining speed.
