I love this post. My first gig was slinging Delphi for a telecoms company, my second was C# and I've been involved with TypeScript since it was announced. I'm a complete fan of Anders Hejlsberg work. To the extent that I gave genuine consideration to naming one of my son's "Anders". My wife was not onboard.

Could you have gotten away with naming him 'Sharp' instead?

No the logical name is C@, the great successor of C# ( https://www.reddit.com/r/C_AT/ )

"Turbo Pascal" :-p

As someone that also used languages designed by Anders I'm also a huge fan of his work.

Too bad there are just a few quality interviews with him: https://www.artima.com/intv/anders.html

MSDN's Channel 9 has quite a few talks/interviews with him [1]. I especially enjoy this one [2].

Great resource indeed, thanks! Too bad the latest one is 2 years old :(

There's a chapter from Anders on [1].

Right! I remember now buying the book just to read the chapter about Anders. Was not disappointed. (for the record other "masterminds" were also interesting).
