I was a TA in a class that expected knowledge of C. A lot of students who had only ever used Python asked if I could ring them up to speed. One student even asked if he could write it in Python and then I could "just translate it over"

Just add semi colons and brackets, right?

Just put a bunch of asterisks everywhere.

That's the seasoning.

It's never spicy enough until you sprinkle enough around!

No that's PHP.

It's rather trivial to translate Python to C:

$ cat << EOF > ./shitpost.c && gcc -O2 -o ./shitpost ./shitpost.c && ./shitpost
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    system("python3 -c \\"print(\\\\\\"Hello, World!\\\\\\")\\"");
    return 0;
}
EOF
Hello, World!

My C is a bit rusty though, sorry.

Tbf I blame whoever did was planning the prerequisites. CS majors actively wish NOT to learn any more languages than they physically have to in my experience.
