"People" here meaning Anders Hejlsberg almost single-handedly.
- speed_spread 2y agoAnders Hejlsberg, also of C# and Typescript fame. Oh, how I wish we had a RAD Delphi-like IDE for the web.
- lproven 2y ago> RAD Delphi-like IDE https://www.lazarus-ide.org/ https://www.lazarus-ide.org/ > for the web. ... why?
- speed_spread 2y agoBecause, even though I hate it, web tech is the main way to build GUI apps nowadays. The demand for native apps in corporate settings has all but disappeared.
- lproven 2y agoHmmm. Interesting take. I am not even sure I agree, but in some contexts this may be true. I think -- and indeed hope -- it's a temporary local thing and will pass.
- overanalytcl 2y agoSo... RadPHP?
- eegufer 2y agoYou might try Codux...
- raverbashing 2y agoIt's funny how Denmark could produce two computer scientists with very distinct opinions on what makes a computer language good (I'm happy ate least one of them knows the right answer)
- Flow 2y agoWho is the other one?

- overanalytcl 2y agoEither Rasmus Ledorf or Bjarne Stroustrup. Arguably, another Danish programmer contributed to the history of Pascal: Peter Naur (and also Jørn Jensen, but he was more into implementing ALGOL 60 compilers). Honorable mention to DHH, although he didn't create a programming language. And also to Lars Bak for being the lead developer on V8.
- fanf2 2y agoLars Bak was also the lead designer of Dart
- danielovichdk 2y agoWould be only fair to mention Paul Henning Kamp here as well. FreeBsd, md5, varnish.
