C language is probably one of the most apt languages to write "timeless" software, and the Sockets api have been fairly stable over the years (although i know that the Beej's guide use some newer apis, mostly getaddrinfo).
I was incredibly surprised when going through the source code of gnu make to find some incredibly old C syntax that happily compiled and is used today by pretty much everyone (one way or another).
