Well, if you are attempting to influence someone like me, not like this. I think Dijkstra's great reputation and 37 years of experience with programming are basically enough for anyone reading this today to take all of his statements as basically true; but if someone published a similar list dissing all your favorite programming languages... well, we've all witnessed internet flame wars.
The basic problem here is that the list is nothing but assertions. Dijkstra is 'right' about almost all of them, but there's no proof, or attempt to argue the point here. If you didn't already agree with him, or god forbid, actually use one of the languages, what you'd hear is Dijkstra basically saying you are stupid for using that language.
And humans have a very natural tendency when someone calls them stupid to assert angrily that they are not. And then the argument basically becomes a form of "no I'm not stupid for liking Apple products, you're stupid for liking Android." Which is entirely not the point of what Dijkstra is doing.
In my experience, the best way to get someone to change their mind is to show them a better way, and show them how and why it is better without ever insulting the old way or implying people who follow it are stupid.
Easier said than done, of course. But the insults are unnecessary and, more importantly, distracting. They tend to be more about the ego of the person hurling them than anything else. And stuff is already hard enough to figure out even without egos getting involved.
