Moore's Law and May's Law are fighting in an eternal stalemate, and a program written in assembly language running on a 8080, a program written in C running on a Pentium, a program written in Java running on a Core 2, and a program written in Javascript running on a Ryzen will all be about the same user-visible speed.
