It's kinda sad to read as most of their arguments might seem right at first but if put under scrutiny really fall apart.
Like why defend C in 2025 when you only have to defend C in 2000 and then argue you have a old, stable, deeply tested, C code base which has no problem with anything like "commonly having memory safety issues" and is maintained by a small group of people very highly skilled in C.
Like that argument alone is all you need, a win, simple straight forward, hard to contest.
But most of the other arguments they list can be picked apart and are only half true.
