In C afaict you cannot copy structures through assignment or return them 
as a function result. There is also no operator overloading. This means 
that any custom types you make are decidedly second class citizens.

In C++ I can make a fixed point type or a complex number type or a 
string type or a matrix type or a vector type or whatever and use it as 
naturally as the built in numeric types. In C I cannot do this.
