C has classes?

  Python has classes defined in C.

    And “classes in C” is really just a matter of agreeing on a convention. GObject and COM are object systems that have C implementations. I suppose it’s a mental thing when you’re “below” the abstract object system instead of getting to treat them as tangible things unto themselves. Like how C doesn’t really have strings — they’re pointers or structs and so you don’t get any sort of encapsulation that’s not enforced by convention. You have to maintain the invariants or only use methods that maintain them.

  Wow, it was a legitimate query, I wasn't sure what OP was referring to. Thanks for the downvotes.
