I generally agree with the article's main point, however c still has macros which kind of breaks those rules. I remember back in 98 when first picking up Java, thinking, WHAT NO MACROS?, but now i believe that was an incredibly good idea not having them. Of course Java now has things like aspects, et. al, so you never can get away from things if you really want them.
