lol this is like saying C doesn't need structs, you can just declare the variables with a common prefix separately! See ma, product types!

Yep, or C doesn't need arrays just use pointers! And C doesn't need strings, just use a pointer to the first byte and assume it's ASCII!

That doesn't work since you cannot pass that as a single argument to a function.

So? make the function accept multiple arguments?

There are restrictions on calling conventions; it's not equivalent.
