Much of the blog post about ripgrep performance boils down to "Rust regexes are fast like RE2". But JIT RE engines are state of the art now?

There is a lot more to it than that. Literal optimizations and SIMD play a large role. Benchmarks also included PCRE2's JIT.

I know - that was actually my point. The speed is not due to Rust's Regex engine, because that one can be beaten.

My point is that JITs aren't necessarily the state of the art.
