Anders Hejlsberg on the Past, Present and Future of C#

ComputerWorld is running a series on the world's most popular computer programming languages.

In this article, the magazine interviews Anders Heilsberg, leader of C# development.

In the interview he shares his thoughts on coming programming trends, giving us a glimpse of what to expect in C# 4.0.

If you don't recognize his name, you should.

Anders Hejlsberg is also responsible for creating the Turbo Pascal system, and was the Delphi development team's lead architect.

He also is a great presenter.

I attended a talk he did on nullable types at Tech Ed 2005 and walked out of the room feeling like I understood the entire universe.

Sadly, that understanding faded away before I could blog about it, but at least the deep knowledge of nullable types stuck.

He is one of those rare people who have a deep understanding of technology and the excellent presentation skills to express his insights to a wider audience.

It is, therefore,  little wonder that he has his own WikiPedia entry and has been interviewed numerous times.
