This was maybe the main reason why I switched to Ruby. The largest part of my time was spent on integrating other people's work. Don't get me wrong. It would take me more time to write the code from scratch and it would have introduced redundancy. But it just didn't feel right spending so much time on getting other people's stuff play together. I think the problem is that C/C++ and Java don't scale semantically.
