There are not very many more naive statements.

Apparently you missed the part of the articles which explains that many of C's undefined behaviours allow the compiler to make better optimisations..

This doesn't mean that one should use C: premature optimisation is still the root of all evil, but just that the reaction "undefined behaviour == don't use C" is naive at best.
