Which is why the title is "Node can now execute Typescript files" and not lint, check, or even run TypeScript files.

I'm not sure what the distinction between "execute" and "run" is; is there a difference?

No, I don't think there really is. But to be execute is even more clear that it's just... executing the code, whereas I could maybe understand someone being confused that run implied some level of type checking.

Node is just inline transpiling the TS into JS, then running the JS.
