I'm not sure what your point is but I just asked Gemini to write a c program to ask my name, age, and dimensions for which to calculate area. Took may a second.
Claude says, "Hold my beer...."
I asked him to take your ANSI C and convert it to Python.

@brief The main function runs the area calculation program.
It prompts the user for their name and age, then asks for the
length and width of a rectangle, calculates the area, and prints
a personalized result.
