can you elaborate on ruby? i'm curious to understand your experience with it and what brought you to the conclusion that you "hate programming".

  I'm not the original person so I have no idea what their experience is, but I feel pretty much the same. Every time I work in a language other than Ruby, it feels like programming. When I work in Ruby the language feels almost effortless. I wish I could do everything in Ruby and it frustrates me when there is something I can't make work in Ruby. Especially Rails, everything that works works so smoothly. When it doesn't work I get very frustrated and switch to another language only to find out its even harder in another language. I don't like programming. I like it when the computer does what I tell it to do. I find that drastically easier to accomplish in Ruby (especially Rails).

      It's ruby but with extra steps

      Would you like to pay now (compile time) or later (runtime)? We have ways of dealing with scaling of runtime in production (develop infrastructure environment). There's no way I know to speed up the edit/compile/run loop during development.
