Reject C, return to assembly. Structured programming is the true oppression our generation never talks about.

That's silly. Luckily, I don't think this was the same situation. This was at a university and they had classes with other languages. The beginner classes were split into two variants, where some students (mostly CS students) learned C, and other students (economy, etc.) learned Python. I suppose they figured it was more useful to them or something.
I was a teacher's assistant in beginner's programming at university for a bit. I expected them to learn C, which I knew enough of, but I got assigned to a group that learned Python instead. I had never used Python at the time. I ended up having to speed learn it while trying to teach it, to not be completely useless.
Det är ändå redan för sent. Det är buskens hus nu.
That's definitely part of "the deal" with MIT and Apache. The other end of it is that they shouldn't really expect to get anything more than what the authors are willing to give.
Option<T> has a From<T> implementation that lets you write Option::from($file_path).map(|path| path.to_string()) to accept both cases in the same expression.

A relatively cheap PC with Factorio and you are set. You won't spend much on food either, so win-win.
