Talking about the Problem Domain instead of the Language

Steve Yegge has this to say about the programming language Ruby:

I have a lot of trouble writing about Ruby, because I find there's nothing to say. It's why I almost never post to the O'Reilly Ruby blog.  Ruby seems so self-explanatory to me.  It makes it almost boring; you try to focus on Ruby and you wind up talking about some problem domain instead of the language. I think that's the goal of all programming languages, but so far Ruby's one of the few to succeed at it so well.

I am not experienced enough with Ruby to confirm that this is true for that language but I do recognise the same feeling of falling through the language into the problem domain when using Leslie Lamport's TLA+.  I get this feeling much more with TLA+ than with Alloy, but then I am a lot less experienced with the latter.
