I don't think the mutation analogy really works.

C of 40 years ago is nothing like modern c.

Same for basic.

I just found out recently that many k&r c'isms are actually obsoleted as in will break the compiler.

    int foo(s, f)
     char* s;
     float f;
    { ... }
That notably is now broken as per C 2X
