Why "bullshit"? I looked at the article, and everything looks extremely reasonable, and desirable in C.

* nullptr: fixes problems with eg, va_arg

* better enums: Who doesn't want that? C is a systems language, dealing with stuff like file formats, no? So why shouldn't it be comfortable to define an enum of the right type?

* constexpr is good, an improvement on the macro hell some projects have

* unprototyped functions removed: FINALLY! That's a glaring source of security issues.

Really I don't see what's there to complain about, all good stuff.
