From the blog post, it sounded like their benchmark relied heavily on a gem with a C extension (nokogiri). It's hard to imagine a performance improvement on code that YJIT has no control over.

I can't think of anyone besides Anders Hejlsberg that has a better track record with programming language innovation. At least 3 different languages that have all been commercially successful.
