I felt the same way yesterday about writing a little app to position X windows in preconfiged positions.... in Crystal using C bindings. I would have to learn C, make, xlib, and a while bunch of other things just for a simple, non-buggy executable. I just gave up and decide to keep using Crystal and make external POSIX (ie shelling out) calls to the compiled wmctrl executable.
