In my experience Ruby has been faster than Python for a long time - ever since its performance improved significantly going from 1.8 to 1.9, and Python’s got worse going from 2.x to 3.x.

Python 3.6 was pretty much on par with 2.7 and that was 5 years ago. There doesn't seem to be any meaningful difference between python and ruby these days at all https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...
