Because I don’t understand how it goes.

GDScript is not converted to C++ (which is a tricky process), it is instead interpreted (just like Python or Ruby are, by default).

GDScript can be compiled into bytecode (.gdc files), but it’s still not C++.

It seems to me that the implementations of the built in GDScript functions, for example, the members of the nodes, are in C++ .
