There's significantly more motivation to run JS faster since JS isn't a choice; if you need an interactive website, it will use JS. Ruby is a choice.

I guess everyone with significant investment in ruby codebases can just "choose" to rewrite everything in another language.

Whilst they are doing their multiyear rewrites, it would be nice if someone could optimise the ruby runtime a bit for them.
