Sorry, but you might have to learn proper software development skills...
And learn to use the right tool for a task. Scripting tools/languages 
have their purpose, compiled languages/environments have theirs.
Forcing some clutches of some scripting languages onto a compiled 
language just doesn't make sense, you are just promoting software 
bloat at it's best. Why use a multi-megabyte compiler to shuffle 
around more megabytes of data to compile a more or less small script 
each time it is run instead of using a more appropriate and efficient tool...

Actually I do, and that all without the whole shebang...
