I'm saying that your idea that the JVM enables performance for dynamic langiagss, and then that's why the languages succeeded is wrong.
I also think it's wrong to imply IronPython and IronRuby failed for purely performance reasons.
Actually the JVM support for dynamic languages (invokedynamic) was only added after .NET, thanks to IronPython project, created the DLR first as a side project, then eventually released it as part of .NET 4.0.
I imagine only those of us that work regularly with both platforms get it right, when each got what, and even then it is easy to lose track.
