Hmmm...

	"Ruby - the language that makes you feel like unit testing"

Sounds like an advantage, not disadvantage :-) While I see pros for going to
byte-code compilation, none of them have anything to do with error-checking.
It seems to me the compiler is a tempting crutch to lean on instead of
properly testing your code. Just my $0.02.
