Anything that involves calling lots of OS primitives (syscalls) is a good candidate for prototyping in C. These are usually wrapped in higher-level languages like Python, but do not always have a direct 1:1 correspondence in terms of the flags and return values, have additional hidden behaviours due to the sandboxed environment, etc.
