And I'm sorry to hear about that Ruby experience. I authored one of the Ruby stdlibs, and similar issues with the language, and the inevitable encroachment of Rails into every project, eventually drove me away from it.

I was, however, excluding interpreted languages from my comparison. Dynamically typed languages are a different matter and can't hope to be any kind of safe - but that's not the game where they excel.
