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.
