Well, having written a few embedded operating systems, and plenty of 
assembler (& C & C++ & Java etc etc) in my time.  I use ruby exactly 
because it is a very high level language.  Perhaps it takes a low lever 
programmer to really appreciate it.  I doubt I am alone in the ruby 
community.

You could cause offense with those kinds of comments. Even if you don't 
intend to.
