Bingo :)! This is mostly what I was looking for when I wrote my Medition. I guess it was just a bad choice in getting started, it was just that was what was in my mind at the time, and just wanted to get everyone in the moment that I was in. Apologies for the bad lead in.
Mostly, what I was noticing is trying to get help from someone who works with a compiled language, while possible, just seems much more difficult. You have to either wait until the next version comes out instead of asking for a quick fix patch that can just be kluged in and have a nice working product.
Trying to get help from users of interpreted langues, seems to be quite the opposite. I can ask a question here, and I have to finally decide to say "that's enough" becuase I can get so many responses that I nearly drown in them. I figure that what it all boils down to is, seems like a better tech support option, we seem to have enough time to support our projects without having people wait for the next version (unless we choose to do business that way :), and in addition help others get their projects done.
Now, please do not misunderstand me, I am not going down the road of "which languag is better?" because I see it as a dead end. Although, it is nice to stir things up around the monastary, and that seems the best way to do it, hahahaha ;).
