I know this is a joke - but there totally is hardware acceleration for some of this stuff in modern processors. There definitely is for JS, JSON and generally string stuff. It’s not even x86 only, ARM got these kinds of things as well (although likely less of it)

I’ve always wondered about string handling - it’s so common, and seemed to be an afterthought in every processor I ever learned about their instructions. Of course, I last touched assembly language 30 years ago, so… I would hope there’s been some progress since then.

Hardware acceleration for an interpreted programming language? Can you point me to a specific example, because I find that hard to believe.
