C's supposed simplicity is wholly a mirage. "Limited" would be the accurate description.

Everyone's chief exposure to complexity is the code written in the language, where the complexity comes from the problem domain and everything it takes to wrangle that complexity with what the language has to offer. By that measure, C's sharp limits mean that your exposure to complexity is much greater in a C program than in a C++ program.
