Anyway I really do love dynamically typed languages. You can do so much more with them with very little.
I've come across many occasions where static typed languages like Java and C just don't stack up to what I want.
Too bad 3D libraries (OGL comes to mind) aren't developed for Ruby as of yet, neither is a JIT.
I can't switch without losing my current codebase and without an advanced JIT like Java's JIT it's not worth making a switch as of yet.
Just take a look at this:
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/20020101.html
Another new and noteworthy language is D.

Programming languages are advancing and relatively new developers like myself will need to make a choice.
I need something powerful, yet simple but not too simple that I'm coddled like a baby(like the horrible mess called Visual Basic *shudder*).
