- adamnemecek 12y agoAnders Hejlsberg made TurboPascal. Pascal itself was created by Niklaus Wirth.
- pascalmemories 12y agoI was a huge fan of Pascal and still have fond memories - I'd still argue it is a good starting point for teaching programming principles. It's easy to pick faults in any language {Y} and compare it against {X} which is way better. I don't think that is really helpful as it ignores whatever practicalities for the time/place led to the choice of {Y}. Anyway, I always got a chuckle from the fortune cookie : Niklaus Wirth has lamented that, whereas Europeans pronounce his name correctly (Ni-klows Virt), Americans invariably mangle it into (Nick-les Worth). Which is to say that Europeans call him by name, but Americans call him by value.

- xradionut 12y agoWirth also created successors to Pascal and co-created an operating system and the hardware it ran/runs on.
- pjmlp 12y agoI am a big fan of the Oberon family of languages. It showed me workstation OS are pretty doable in GC enabled systems programming languages. Sadly the industry hasn't yet decided to bet on it.
- V-2 12y agoC# is definitely more of a Java child than C. C is its distant ancestor, not a parent.
- ajuc 12y agoC# feels more like Delphi than C.
