Uhh did you read the same article I did? 90% of the article was features missing in C: Generics, Slices, Dependency Management, Tests, Useful macros, Pattern matching, etc.

Those things have nothing to do with good or bad code and have everything to do with the language.

Did you read the first section of the same article I did? You seem to have skipped that part.
He mentioned some bad C experiences he had for a whole 7 sentences and that's your take away from the article?

You're totally missing the point dude. The point is that C doesn't protect developers from some of the most basic mistakes and offers very little tooling compared to modern languages. It turns out that maintaining huge software projects in C is actually really hard.
