I find it funny that in a "best C-like language" post he doesn't even mention D.

He makes an indirect sarcastic reference to it via a link; look for the text "stay in the spheres of irrelevancy".

Go is C-like, D is C++-like.

Oh no, there's a C++- now :p?

Many people consider Java to be C++--

I disagree with such umbrella assessments. Besides, forcing people to use garbage collection is very unlike C.
