Another really great video is Anders and Lars Bak around the time Typescript and Dart came out (about the same time.) In this video Anders explains to Lars why TypeScript will win the race to fix JavaScript's drawbacks. Lars was really happy with their Dart VM (as he should be) and didn't really want to hear how TypeScript would prevail. The thing about Anders is that he's usually right and he was.

i immediately thought about that talk too! i already knew Anders Hejlsberg but that talk left a great impression on me. in fact, after that talk, i knew TypeScript would do something more interesting than Dart. and would definitely be more successful. in fact, anyone watching that talk could tell. Anders Hejlsberg explained so well what they were doing. but the dart team displayed a lot of uneasiness. Lars Bak especially. there was another member of the Dart team who seemed less stressed during that interview. iirc they went to work on the go programming language.
