If you look beyond the name calling and ad hominems, that entire article can be summarized as "C is popular now, so it will be forever." Which is laughably naive and short-sighted. Quite possibly the worst defense of C I have ever read in my life. And I like C. (ps: "professional C developer" doesn't say much. I've worked in embedded systems with C for years, so what? that doesn't make me right. don't be misled by his bloviating and chest thumping; his point is weak.)
