It’s amusing to me that whenever C has a feature that C++ doesn’t, C programmers hammer on the usefulness and power of said feature, but on the converse those same C programmers hammer on the divine simplicity of C.

C++ has constructors, it doesn’t really need designated initializers in the first place. They were added primarily for C compatibility.
