There is one such "ad hominem" type statement -- it quotes somebody saying, "MISRA C is a shack built on a swamp!". Anonymously. But the stuff after that seems pretty well reasoned and backed up by evidence. For example, they point out that the rules of MISRA C are ambiguous, all the tools interpret them differently, and it's not feasible to check the rules by hand. Why is that a "C-hating screed"? - Bob
