C# developed by?

 

[AlexS]

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

Anybody knows details?

 

[DM McGowan II]

Anders Hejlsberg is the gentleman's name. He was the creator of
Turbo Pascal and Delphi.

Chris.

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.
