You're missing it. Here's what Joel is saying without saying it: C# 4 is "that language.". Both his companies are built on the MS stack.

C# 4.0 didn't exist when the article was written in 2006.

Given that the article is from 2006 that'd be some prescient writing.

Also at the time of this article they had their own custom language Wasabi. This article explaining Wasabi is dated a month after the original article:

It's based on VBScript, not C#.
