I like what Anders Hejlsberg says here, but still wonder why he is not pushing for F# adoption/funding/tooling etc. I'm in no position to judge such an accompli

I like what Anders Hejlsberg says here, but still wonder why he is not pushing for F# adoption/funding/tooling etc. I'm in no position to judge such an accomplished language designer in any way, just curious. Is it ego? NIH? Or that other thing (Whose name someone else can surely provide) about not being able to see the solution if your salary depends on the problem.
- marcosdumay 5y agoIt's almost unanimous that the general "null" from C is a very bad idea.

- DonHopkins 5y agoA bad bet which, as Anders Hejlsberg rightly pointed out, JavaScript doubled down on.
- kungito 5y agoIs he in any way related to F#? I feel like he is completely focused on Typescript with C# slowing down with features and F# and VBasic are pretty much in maintenance mode
- scns 5y agoHe is not, that's why i hinted at Not Invented Here.
