It seems that their definition of "language" encompasses more than general-purpose PLs and includes DSLs, libraries and code-generators. In their list there are libraries for Scala, .NET, Python, C, OCaml and Javascript.

When you say that he's mocking Microsoft engineers, is that because of the Visual Basic comments? Because Erik actually enjoys VB and was responsible for adding some features to it. He's a former employee, so there's context.

It's been a while since I last had to parse ASP.NET pages, but AFAIK, the viewstate isn't meant to be parsed by clients, you just have to re-send it during postbacks. It's more like a cookie, or Rails' authenticity_token
