Not only that, but their chart makes it look like adopting older languages now will give you more bit rot resistance.

C2: C89 or Python 2 a few decades a developer week

C3: C or Python a decade a developer month

When it should read:

C2: C99 or Python 3 a few decades a developer week

C3: C89 or Python 2 a decade a developer month

If you start a project today with python 2, the bit rot will be far worse[1] than python 3 which is now stable and doesn't seem to have any plans for future compatibility breaking changes.

C89, C99, Python 2, 3 were only examples as the table header says.
