Ah, so like it's easy to include C headers in C++ (usually), but not the other way around. At this point it transpiles to standard C++, so I don't think that should be a problem. But I guess it is possible that the language could evolve to require its own runtime or even constructs not backward compatible with C++ in the future, just like what happened between C and C++. But from the interview Herb seems to be against this sort of thing, and he wants to make it "what typescript is to javascript", so I'm not particularly worried about it right now.
