super interesting , actually I am also a contributer of the https://github.com/bddicken/languages and after I had tried to create a lua approach , I started to think of truffleruby as it was mentioned somewhere but unfortunately when I had run the code of main.rb , there was virtually no significant difference b/w truffleruby and main.rb (sometimes normal ruby was faster than truffleruby) I am not sure if the benchmark that you had provided showing the speed of truffleruby were made after the changes that you have made. I would really appreciate it if I could verify the benchmark and maybe try to add it to the main https://github.com/bddicken/languages as a commit as well , because the truffleruby implementation actually is faster than the node js and goes close to bun or even golang for that matter which is nuts. This was a fun post to
