C++ is very different from C, one language is actually usably expressive the other can’t even express a generic vector data structure without runtime overhead or copy-pasting.

Not going to argue, but if you really want generics in C the usual solution is code generation. Also, it might be surprising to a C++ coder, but there's a lot of problems that can be solved perfectly fine without generics ;)
