I love this post. My first gig was slinging Delphi for a telecoms company, my second was C# and I've been involved with TypeScript since it was announced. I'm a complete fan of Anders Hejlsberg work.

    Right! I remember now buying the book just to read the chapter about Anders. Was not disappointed. (for the record other "masterminds" were also interesting).

  MSDN's Channel 9 has quite a few talks/interviews with him [1]. I especially enjoy this one [2].

    Great resource indeed, thanks! Too bad the latest one is 2 years old :(

Could you have gotten away with naming him 'Sharp' instead?

  No the logical name is C@, the great successor of C# ( https://www.reddit.com/r/C_AT/ https://www.reddit.com/r/C_AT/ )
