Having been on all sides of the fence..

It's not the language. Or the purity. No amount of changing the language you code in will increase your happiness, past a month or two.

You either find fulfillment as a code monkey, or you don't. I don't find it fulfilling, but I find starting a startup to be so. You have to pick for yourself what makes you happy.

I'm not saying it's language, but I can tell you that I enjoy working on X more than on Y.

I think code monkey is a bit pejorative, especially when programmers are critical to many businesses :)
