C not for applications? (or LISP for that matter) A little bias showing there.

Not only bias, but obviously pure ignorance too, at least with respect to Lisp. In his table, Lisp seems to be unsuitable both for meta programming and multiple dispatch, which always have been touted as Lisp's major features.

It's apparently not aspect-oriented, either.

The article is full of wrong information, wrong logic, and wrong conclusions. I feel embarrassed for the author, who must have spent a lot of time to produce something that is an intellectual net loss for anyone who reads it.

Same for Objective-C. I disregarded the entire blog post as soon as I noticed.
