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?
SIMD and literal optimizations are part of the regex library. The core DFA isn't necessarily beaten by a JIT either.

"Isn't necessarily" is rather vague because regex performance is variable depending on the inputs.

Are you claiming a JIT isn't the way to go, or are you just saying the (tested) engines with JITs simply aren't the fastest?
