I didn't say there were no holes. No language is perfect. But so far the
positive experiences outweigh the negative ones, easily.

uhm. some people like some GUI binding of Ruby. Others hate the same
binding. Personally, I haven't seen a single good GUI library in any
language; so I can't hold this against Ruby :)

and in Ruby/Tk you do:

   b = TkButton.new(nil, "text"=>"quit").pack
   b.command { exit }

I fail to see what you're trying to argue here...
