I read your posts and I don't know if I just don't understand you or if you are trolling.

I believe what the parent post refers to is that Ruby - being a dynamic language - is way more flexible with types and data structures. On top of that it has very convenient methods for data manipulation. This allows you to express solutions in a fewer lines of code compared to lower languages (with the added downside of slowness of course).
