I'm actually going to agree with him when he says 'This is too hard.' I think he has a point. Having written apps in VB, C, C#, Java, Mirah, PHP, Ruby and others, most of them make things hard that should be simple. Ruby generally doesn't, though. I've heard the same about Python, but not tried it. To make a button work in C# or Java, there's a ton of boilerplate code that needs to be written. Since it's boilerplate, why haven't they abstracted that away? (Mirah tries to, but it has some limitations that leave most code still just as verbose.)
