In its defense, it was a piece of very well written and scathing satire.

As a piece, it seems to try hard but unintentionally suggests a shallow understanding of programming languages.

How so? I saw it ragging on the current crop of faddish languages and palette-swaps of existing ones (coffeescript, dart, to a lesser extent go), the oddly celebrated amateurishness of current programming language's design, with whatever bit of actual computer science mentioned in passing being pushed aside to make space for the grand vision of language usability held by the author, which usually is ad-hoc to the last three programs written by him/her.
