Hejlsberg did amazing work on Turbo Pascal/Delphi, which were basically his personal inventions. He then crossed over, and got himself lost in the C#/.net universe - technology some of us wouldn't touch with the proverbial ten foot pole, or one of any length, for that matter.

Considering that his (and my) compatriots Stroustrup and Lerdorf did C++ and PHP repsectively, a national apology might sort of be in order.

He wasn't just involved in c#, he was the lead on c#.

He also did solid work in the C#/.net world.

Yes, I know. I just hugely preferred his earlier work.
