C can bitrot too, especially academic C. A few things I’ve seen are missing headers, builds that only ever worked with what the prof had in /usr/local, conventions that become warnings that become errors (500 invocations of strcpy!), and “beginner” stuff like assuming int’s size or that you can poke hard-coded memory ranges. I do think both languages will be better than Python over decadal time scales.
