I wrote a sophisticated lightweight component framework on Java (before Swing) that was very fast. Of course, writing it in a "higher level" language adds overhead, but not as much overhead as bad design ;-) If you could have low-level primitives written natively and layer higher level constructs with Ruby, I think you could build a very responsive UI.

Good lord!  Are you serious?  Refactoring shouldn't something you budget 
for; it should be a standard part of the development process.  Heck, 
sometimes I refactor stuff that works perfectly well.  ;-)

Heh.  Germany was like that, too.  Dang socialism.

Personally, I think the downsides of that are more than offset by the 
upsides.  In America, we have no job security, unless you work for the 
govornment.  Bang, you're laid off, no warning.  I think our way often puts 
the health of companies ahead of the health of individuals, which I don't 
approve of.

Yeah, I agree.  Stability is having the option to change, but not choosing 
it.  Inflexibility is not having the option.
