As a young lad, I studied the internals of BLS Pascal (the great-grandfather of Turbo Pascal) and was blown away by the cleverness of much of the code. I had never seen such clever machine code before and have ever since considered Anders a bit of a genius.
- noir_lord 6y agoAnders isn't a 'bit of a genius' when it comes to language/runtime design he is straight up one of the geniuses. I'm 40, I've programmed since 87 and the languages I've truly loved using in the real world have always been Anders languages in some way (TP -> Delphi -> C#/.Net -> TypeScript) - he has amazing taste in what he implements and when - he just has an eye for practical languages that solve common problems nicely.
