Note that there are three general ways to implement code:

 - test driven development
 - design by contract with proofs (Ada SPARKS)
 - debugging day and night

Ruby has the first one nailed. Conquering the second one would put a lock on 
the industry, and would demonstrate proof-driven development in a dynamic 
language.

Has this worked in that other self-compiling language, Smalltalk?
