I got it, but the analogy was a poor one. Joe Barr's argument is that the GPL "works best", if what you are working on is a progressively improving software architecture that is free and open for everyone to participate in. He's comparing it to other licenses which don't guarantee the same freedom.
A technical choice of languages isn't the same thing. C is free. But so is Python. So is C++. There are a number of programming languages that allow you to be productive in different ways, and are free for the using. But there is only one GPL.
