C# developed by?

As far as I know by creator of Pascal (or coauthor) and Delphi.
Heard through the grapevine, but not clearly enough.

Anybody knows details?

May be but I consider C# to be like Java and C++ which is why I use it.

Anders is the primary architect for C#. The design team for the original
version of C# consisted for 4-6 people (I was one), and met several times a
week for a couple of years.

The compiler development is done by a separate team, though there is overlap
between the design team and the dev team.

I have a very simple question here ...
how do u do it .? i mean how od u write a new language ..? what r the
languages u need to know to develop a new language ..? what do u have
to keep in mind .. ? how does one design a compiler for that language
...? I've always wondered ......
its just a question that was in my mind for quite some time now ..

I did an interview a while back that covered a lot of this. It's at:
