you can make C that's kind of object-oriented if you want, structs full of function pointers everywhere. you can even inherit by casting a struct full of function pointers to another struct full of function pointers

don't ever do this. cumulatively it probably wasted a month of developer time

This is basically how the linux kernel is written.

e: Except the casting part. Probably not the casting part. That sounds awful. It's bad enough just trying to find your way through function pointer soup, but I can at least see why it's necessary and useful. Inheritance in C the way you describe it sounds pretty awful
