I've been a Linux user since just after the mid-90's so you can imagine what my opinion of Microsoft you used to be (I was that annoying guy who used Micro$oft etc). They still act like a basket case occasionally (product of been a large company with divisions that don't always play well with each other) but they have been mostly playing ball and playing it well for years now, so they've earnt some trust. Also TypeScript is Anders Hejlsberg and if I had to pick a hero under duress he's mine, he's written basically all of my favourite languages (or been the lead/architect). * Turbo Pascal * Delph (Object Pascal) * C# (.net) * TypeScript When it comes to building tools that an average dev like me likes using he's been killing it since the eighties :D.
