I like it. Whenever one of these C-shortcomings articles come up, we get the obligatory "rewrite it in Rust!" and "we already rewrote it in JavaScript!" comments.
Even so, there is A LOT of software already written in C/C++ that isn't going to be converted any time soon, and if you could tweak the compiler in such a way that makes those programs just 1% better, that is a REALLY BIG THING.
So, good on you Stephen Kell for this constructive paper!
