C has plenty of polymorphism. The compiler just doesn't do it for you. In fact, C++ started out as C-with-classes since it was a pain to keep recreating the OOP-in-C boilerplate over and over. Besides, there are more kinds of polymorphism than virtual methods. You can be polymorphic with an array of function pointers.
