These aren't really my judgements, I'm just guessing why you got some criticisms. I didn't consider the aspect of which modern toolchains are still attached to C89, but using a language spec that's 35 years old has some relationship to the grayness of one's beard. But in any case I used the term greybeard to evoke the aesthetic of "fuck modernity, embrace terse C, suckless software" etc.
