Luajit and SBCL are very much performance competitive with the JVM? Why do you say that they're not?

They absolutely are. Maybe not if the only thing you’re benchmarking is something completely CPU bound like signal processing/math, but they’re definitely competitive for tons of real use cases.

They don’t really need to be though. They take far fewer tokens and are still faster to develop with
