> C++ is just a layer on top of C

C++ used to be just a layer on top of C, but not anymore. If it still was, it wouldn't be a bad thing to say.

Type checks that run during compilation/transpilation/typechecking do not "run" as the code is executed. This is what happens with Typescript, and that's what the original commenter was saying.
