High Level Low Level Compilation

I have been staring at Ruby for so long that I have become disgusted with low level languages like C or C++. Mid level languages like Java still make me cringe when I look at them. As I sit and write code in Ruby that runs on a terribly slow VM I begin to think. Why don’t high level languages like Ruby or Python compile into assembly level code like C does when it is compiled?...
