I generally agree.  In some cases, though, I can see the reasons for making
those tradeoffs.  If my choices are to write something elegant, reliable,
and clean in Ruby, taking a week to do it, or to spend a month mostly getting
it running in C, I might be better off with Ruby, even though it may restrict
my choice of targets some.
