Who gives a flying fuck about 50-year-old computing.
Every tool you promote is an old tool, every tool you despise is a
modern tool. Whatever your choices, the terminal, the editor, the GUI
(you say you don't use GUI but you are stuck in the old fvwm by the
way).
Software does not "age" like biological organisms or material corrosion.
Software "ages" via a lack of development and nearly all the tools
I utilize are still being actively maintained.
I also do not use "fvwm." I use "fvwm3" which is the latest incarnation
of probably the best window manager available:
https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm3A GUI is useful so far as it provides an easement and anything beyond
easement is pure useless dazzle, and it is mainly dazzlement to which
most "modern" GUIs strive.
The point and purpose of computing is to produce information and the
CLI is just as effective if not more so.
You are advised to keep your meaningless piffle to yourself.

Try using C for threading and cache optimization. YOU would quickly
fall apart and run to Rust or some other crutch.
So you prove your real argument against rust is because it's a new
language. And you prove, at the same time that your real argument
against python is because it's newer than C, too.
More piffle.
C, being just shorthand for assembly, is the ultimate language.
There is no need for anything else.
In the true arena of computing, which is science and engineering,
C is lord and master.
For scripting, however, and other trivial stuff, anything can suffice:
bash, perl, tcl, python, etc.
Yes, python is a mere SCRIPTING language that has been inflated to
enormous proportions to satiate all the programming ignoramuses
that have flocked around it.
So, again, learn to keep your piffle to yourself.
