- nandalism 4y agoIs that the same Anders Hejlsberg who developed Turbo Pascal and Delphi for Borland, another company which microsoft successfully crushed in the 80's and 90's? (Hint: It is). We could have C# 30 years before we did if it weren't for microsoft.
- philwelch 4y agoC# came out in 2000; Microsoft didn't even exist in 1970.
- YoshiRulz 4y agoThe C# language team are doing a great job. Most of what I hate about C#/.NET—such as the lack of a UI framework that runs on Linux, as I just bemoaned in another comment—was either inherited from the earliest versions or got forced through by management at MS.
- pjmlp 4y agoAnders Hejlsberg doesn't have anything to do with C# for a few years already. His focus is TypeScript. Mads Torgersen has been leading C# design since version 7, more or less.
