This was generally true before the introduction of YJIT, but with YJIT, Ruby's performance has improved significantly and may even outpace Python in some scenarios[1].

Yeah, Python 3.13 got some great performance improvements as well. But both languages are quite sluggish compared to something like Go and even Node. Also, while I like Ruby, other than RoR, I wouldn’t opt for it to build something.
