The author completely missed the point. It is pretty clear in the Eevee's post (hell, it is even in title) that she isn't saying that C is bad per see, however she thinks that modern higher level languages copying C design parts is silly because it really is. Heck, Java has a god dammit reserved goto keyword for the sake of it.
For sure, the author takes the most controversy points of Eevee's points, that AFAIK are mostly (her) personal preferences. However it does not enter in the interesting parts of her argument, like weak typing, C-style loops* or textual inclusion.
This post was much less interesting read than Eevee's post, that makes me wonder if the author did a click-baiting title just to try to get some clicks on his blog following Eevee's post...
*: really, this is the most retarded thing of the whole C-family languages; it kinda makes sense in C, however if you're writing a modern language that only supports this kinda of loop (pre-ES6 Javascript comes in mind), you're retarded.
