Yes, of course, if you implement it. C has OOP too if you implement
all that machinery. C is quite efficient, so it gives you the power
to implement almost everything
Why couldn't you do the exact same thing in D?
Why does it have to be written in C?<
CPython is written in C (and a bit of Python for some libs). I'd like
to add a module to the Pythonh 2.7 standard lib, and to be efficient
it can't be written in Python. So I have to use C. D isn't allowed in
the CPython codebase.
So it's a political rather than technical requirement. That I can
understand <g>.
