Well, in the case of C++, I'll agree. I have to deal with this crap language
(sometimes I like it)for a living and understand its frustrations. Just the
dependency issues along.... sigh. I think I see where you're coming from. 

But.... if you think Ruby is impervious to needing any refactoring because
it's less "verbose" than other languages, I would not agree.
