Thought people here might be interested in this image on Jens Gustedt's
blog, which translates section 6.2.5, "Types", of the C23 standard
into a graph of inclusions:

So much for C being a 'simple' language.
C should be left alone. It does what it needs to do for a systems language.
Almost no use uses it for applications any more and sophisticated processing
using complex types for example are far better done in C++.
C99 has VMT (variable modified types). Thanks to VMT and complex types
C99 can naturaly do numeric computing that previously was done using
Fortran 77. Offical C++ has no VMT. C++ mechanizms look nicer,
but can be less efficient than using VMT-s, so C has advantage for
basic numeric "cores".
