Microsoft’s programming language czar Anders Hejlsberg: the interview
-
As the creator of programming languages such as Turbo Pascal, Delphi, C# and TypeScript, and highly influential in building development environments such as Microsoft’s .NET, Hejlsberg has had an impact on millions of software developers.
All hail St. Anders!
I really wish I could completely remember his reaction to a developer requesting Java-style checked exceptions. All I remember is that it was the one time I've seen him look kind of angry.

Bravo, Anders:

we already have like one of the world’s largest programming languages, depending on how you define programming languages in Excel. And Excel, you could argue is sort of a low-code/no-code way of writing programs, people do run programs, their spreadsheets are programs.
imho, (the author of the article, or, whoever chose the title) referring to Anders as "czar" is a snarky put-down.
