Eskil is part of ISO working group 14 (C standard) so he's exposed to quite a bit more than you'd think. This isn't some rando ranting about his latest midnight research project, he has enough field experience that the ignorance strawman can't dismiss his observations by itself.
Besides, most of what he talks about here isn't related to language choice anyways.

Firefox dying is not because it's lacking in any form of quality.
Firefox is dying because mozilla exists only as a tiny sheet of cloth over the dummy that google brings out whenever they need to dismiss antitrust/monopoly concerns.
And the obviously hyperbolical nature of that model still doesn't prevent you from creating it or from it leading to potential further research oppurtunities (in fact,please do release the paper that results from such,I'd love to read it.) and following logically from that it still doesn't prevent anyone from creating a model that disagrees or from following any potential research opputunities that such would lead to.
The validity of a mathematical model is dependent solely upon it's internal (and,depending on the extent of the research,external) consistency.Whether it possess any form of 'accuracy to the real world' only comes into play when people who don't understand this attempt to use it to justify their preconceptions.
Individual agents have a mild preference for publishing only models I agree with. They will never publish anything that I 2/3 disagree with (I rank all published papers in order of preference and the bottom 1/3 fail this test) and will immediately retract anything they have published that I disagree with to that extent and replace it with something I do agree with a random amount that places it in the top 66%. We start with them having published things that I randomly agree or disagree with.
No other factor than my agreement will have any impact on their decision to publish or retract.
Surprisingly, with only this mild preference people will automatically self censor and not publish any models I disagree with.
In reality, it's a series of laws that stops them, but we've just proved it's natural so really do those laws even matter?
