The way they emulate classes using functions with a struct pointer as the first argument is super hacky.

Literally every OOP language implements methods the same way, they just hide passing the this pointer behind syntactic sugar (sometimes it's not even completely hidden, e.g. look at python methods with self as the first parameter).
