This is sarcasm, right? The creator of TS is the lead architect of C#

[dnadler]

I feel like that’s supporting the parent, right?

Not really, because it's not a question of if TS creators got to make their own language.

And C# iterates at a rapid pace, with lots of language features being added, some of which would would not be possible in TS.

C# is in some ways less shackled by the runtime it has to target, while TS compiles away entirely. The CLR can be changed to suit .net/C# needs, and JS is not under their control.
