Entire article is sophistry based around the author's definition of powerful.

Tldr: Haskell and C are equally powerful because they handle different problems. In effect, all languages are equally powerful which makes the author's essay moot.

Right tool for the job. Sometimes you want performance, sometimes security. You want both, it's gonna be expensive.
