Interesting reading.
I took a look at page 23, and didn't find the mention of C.
Maybe I didn't read carefully?

Hi,
it seems I have to excuse myself. I could not find anything
from Adele Goldberg.
So my statement is false. Most likely I ended up confusing
Fran Allen's interview in Coders at Work, with some nonsense
in my head.
Still, I leave here a few links I manage to find from Fran Allen.
Some remarks about bad languages on the page 27

Complaint about C on slide 23

Another remark about C

A video recorded at Purdue University, she also talks about C on minute 51

AST/symbol table manipulation is way faster than reparsing code.
People keep talking about D and Go compilation speed, while I
was already
enjoying such compile times back in 1990 with Turbo Pascal in
computers much
less powerfull than my laptop.
But C and C++ with their 70's compiler technology, somehow won
the
market share,
and then people started complaining about compilation speeds.
Adele Golberg, once wrote a paper telling how C made the
compiler technology
regress several decades.
Do you happen to remember to exact title of that paper?
Thanks.

I'll try to find it, as I don't recall the title.
I just remember that it made some remarks how primitive C was in
regard
to Algol toolchains.
Many thanks.
I couldn't find it myself and I'm interested because Fran Allen said
something similar in Coders at Work.
I didn't understand what she meant. Andrei suggested that it is mostly
(only?) about overlapping pointers to memory. I'm just curious.
