But to take a classic old example, C++ did nothing that was not doable in C (early C++ simply translated to C), but properly used it enabled enormous improvements in black boxing, code management, data and code abstraction, library construction etc.
Eventually C++ (and deriviatives like C sharp) provided the management environment such that few would want to go back to doing an entire project in C.
