The irony is that those haters have been doing the same speech since Ada, Modula-2 and Object Pascal early days.

Multics got an higher security score than UNIX, thanks to PL/I.

During the USENET flamewar days, they used to call programming with straightjacket languages.

Also note how proudly they keep digging out Brian Kerninghan complains against Pascal, that disregard the dialects have taken out those issues, and that while Pascal was designed for teaching, Modula-2 was already available, taking care of those pain points, designed for systems programming.
