>It's not very good satire.

If it confused people then it IS very good satire.

>Some of the points are potentially real; it's not clear why they wouldn't matter.

That's the very essence of satire. It has to be somewhat connected to reality.

What you seem to ask for is "grotesque statements" or "surreal humor".

I expect satire to have a point. This doesn't. Is he trying to make fun of all those people hating these C# features? Never heard of anyone who seriously complained about these. Is he making fun of VB misfeatures? Doesn't seem to make sense either.

It doesn't make sense as satire. It does as shallow griping.
