@ahejlsbergAbout this person
Anders Hejlsberg was born in Denmark on 2 December 1960. He authored Turbo Pascal, the compiler that put serious development tools within reach of bedroom coders and small teams. He went on to serve as chief architect of Delphi, extending that lineage into visual rapid application development. Microsoft brought him in to lead the design of C#, the language built to anchor the .NET platform. He now works as core developer on TypeScript, shaping how the web's most ubiquitous language scales.
