How C# Was Made

Posted by timothy on from the magic-dust dept.

prostoalex writes "Bruce Eckel (from the Thinking in C++/Java/Patterns/Enterprise Java fame) and Bill Venners have interviewed programming legend Anders Hejlsberg. After 13 years in Borland and joining Microsoft in 1996, Hejlsberg now leads the development of C# language and talks about the development process, reasons some things exist in C# and some not, as well as future directions."

      It sounds better than D-Flat, at least to the marketing droids.

      I thought my amplifier was cool for going up to 11, but it can't compete with a piano that goes up to W!

    I think the old adage needs to be updated: If you want to eat sausage, obey the laws, and use C#, you should never watch them being made.

    Gonna burn some karma on this...

    Gandalf: This is C#. Forged by the Dark Lord and his engineers in the fires of Mount Redmond. Taken by him from the hand of evil himself. All who use it are bound to him. Gates needs only this ring to cover all the lands of a second darkness... He is seeking it, seeking it; all his thought is bent on it.

    Frodo: Alright, we put it away. We keep it hidden. We never speak of it again... No one knows its here, do they? Do they, Gandalf?

    Gandalf: Unfortunately, yes. The power of Gates is far reaching. The innocent would use C# from a desire to do good, but through them, it would wield a power too great and terrible to imagine.

    You get the idea... ;) And yes, I am just teasing.
