what issues do you have with ruby? it's the de-facto standard for meta-programming

I often use things like `define_method`, `constants`, `method_missing`, etc in select places.

last fun thing I did was adding `let` and `it` to rails's tests.

Every large, long -lived Ruby app I've worked on eventually needs more performance, better concurrency, and would benefit from static typing. It's great that each company got to the point of 'a problem you want to have'. I'm just looking for the best of both worlds: good to start, good to scale.
