Go stick a backend c++ ticket infront of someone who has never written it before but only knows javascript. Give them a PR with issues in it that aren't really whack. Ask them to do a code review. I would wager on the results in favor of them not being proficient in reading the code.

Now do the same with typescript. I bet they have a fighting chance.

You really think a senior C++ developer with 10 years experience and a mastery of C++ could not wing it and solve a JavaScript ticket even if they don’t have any JavaScript experience? Where they can ask a JavaScript developer about existing code.
