from the article:

> David Chisnall is a researcher at the University of Cambridge, where he works on programming language design and implementation. He spent several years consulting in between finishing his Ph.D. and arriving at Cambridge, during which time he also wrote books on Xen and the Objective-C and Go programming languages, as well as numerous articles. He also contributes to the LLVM, Clang, FreeBSD, GNUstep, and Étoilé open-source projects, and he dances the Argentine tango.

If tango experience isn't enough to make his opinion credible, I imagine being an LLVM and Clang contributor are pretty good qualifications.

I don't understand how someone who ended up working on a C compiler feels intimidated by the standard/-s such software needs to adhere to. And if such people work on a C compiler, we're not logically in for a ride of WTFs?
