- dang 8y agoI hope not. The article is dated April 25, 2018, which seems way out of band for that.
- golergka 8y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp_(programming_language)#Name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp_(programming_language)... > Microsoft first used the name C# in 1988 for a variant of the C language designed for incremental compilation. That project was not completed but the name lives on.
- nmeofthestate 8y agoInterestingly, all sources lead back to Rico Mariani.
- rmariani 8y agoTotally not a joke. Also totally not related to C# from .net :-) Super fun stuff!
- Zanni 8y agoIt's real. I was at Microsoft from 1986-1991, working on Windows (2 and 3). We heard frequent stories of this C#, exactly as described, but never got our hands on it.
- mschaef 8y ago> I was at Microsoft from 1986-1991, working on Windows (2 and 3) What was that like? What parts did you work on? (And thank you... I cut my teeth on Windows 3 in particular and learned a lot, I am sure, from code you helped contribute to.)
