> Typescript for C
You mean "C with Classes", later to be replaced by "C++" (Stroustrup pick this as favorite from a list of candidate names he crowdsourced) as implemented by Cfront.

I preferred "P" because of the BCPL ancestor.
If BCPL begat "B" and "B" begat "C", then "C" should have begatten "P".
Not sure if begatten is a word :)
BCPL is short of Bootstrap CPL, given its initial purpose, the fact it took off on its own was not planned.
Most good ideas never are.
It's "begotten" or "begot". :)
Of course, although Typescript for C++ is a more modern way to put it for younger generations.
