PHP had the benefit of Facebook pouring money into it. Same with JS and Google. No company has done something comparable for Ruby.

YJIT, Ruby's new JIT compiler, is from Shopify.
Let’s not forget that GitHub is a giant Rails app that Microsoft runs.
Microsoft is also one of the best language/compiler company in the world.
Microsoft didn't start pouring bucks into improving ruby yet. Their focus has recently been on JS, C# and python.

Really wish Microsoft would contribute/donate to ruby/rails platform even more than Github does already. They can afford to.
I believe Stripe use Ruby. Perhaps they'll fund its improvement...

Stripe has done a lot of work on a ruby type system (https://sorbet.org) and has been working on a ruby compiler as well (https://sorbet.org/blog/2021/07/30/open-sourcing-sorbet-comp...)
That’s not exactly accurate. FB went off and did their own thing.
PHP gains were independent of FB.
This is surprising to hear, considering how big Shopify has gotten and how much resources they've put into Ruby.
shopify is putting up a lot of money and resources into ruby.
