BEHIND THE CODE: The one who created languages

[@hyksos999]

One of the most underrated engineers in the world. A true legend who designs elegant software which impact generations. Thank you sir!

[@cabc74]

Turbo Pascal was my beloved language in the late 80s/early 90s. The it was Delphi, then C#,... I have not used TypeScript so far. But it is such a pleasure to hear Anders talk!

[@bobweiram6321]

Delphi was hands down the most productive development environment available on any platform. Had Borland supported the Mac from the beginning, they would still be in business. Apple was primaries a Pascal shop up until the mid 90s.😊

[@helios3039]

It is so amazing to discover *who* is The Founder.... AFTER using his fantastic products like Turbo Pascal and Delphi for 35 years! Thanks Anders!!!

[@huseynh]

I started with Turbo Pascal in late 90s. Then switched to Borland Delphi 7 and finally to C#. It’s really great to listen to such a legend.

[@ZUrlocker]

It was a lot of fun to work with Anders on Delphi. He is the best programmer I've ever worked with.

[@ljuglampa]

I don't get star struck easily. As a musician I've met some big names and very famous people. This guy tho. I have such admiration for what he's done and are doing. TypeScript for ex has made my work life soooo much better and more fun. Thank you Anders.

A true legend!

[@basarat]

I moved from C# to TypeScript just because it was Anders. Great choice to follow him 🌹❤️🥰

[@ekopc]

Great thanks Anders... I was amazed by the speed and quality of the Turbo Pascal compiler at that time... I did many projects with it. The books that came with the compiler were also great...

[@Ryan-xq3kl]

The final statement is amazing, brilliant guy!

[@Luxcium]

Starting with SubSet of Pascal and ending with SuperSet of JavaScript

[@LearnFrontendNow]

Really enjoyed this interview. Anders, what a true legend :)

fall of 83 i was in 9th grade. When i discovered turbo pascal it was like finally i had something that spoke to me

[@yangthomas5064]

such a remarkable person. i appreciated.

[@sharpnova2]

good talk. c# is my language of choice for many things but i have yet to play with typescript. I'm looking forward to it

2:05 "because that's when you can really get down to the -medal- metal"

[@istvanvozik9098]

He is a legend! But I think "The one who created languages" was Prof. Niklaus Wirth. Hejlsberg "just" reimplement it.

[@rubencefai3407]

He's the man that's messed up my computer science.

[@doverbeek1332]

We created a trans script in our Blaise Pascal Magazine Issue 85, for the 25th year of Delphi

[@Steve-Richter]

Who is the other co-designer of typescript? Cannot imagine Anders needing someone else to help him design a language.

[@EricRogstad]

Transcription is wrong at 1:59 -- should be "programming what's there" rather than "programming once a day".

[@metinur1311]

What is the music? I addicted it. Where can I find it?

[@Luxcium]

Imagine how the world would be have that high school decided not to invest in computers 🖥 🇩🇰

[@DArnez-c5n]

One of my role models!

[@-leovinci]

What do you feel of Lisp?

It's 2019 and we still hardcode subtitles covering half of the speakers face.

dude a walking corporate oriented language

[@Steve-Richter]

Typescript needs interface extension methods. Just like C# has.

[@riansyahtohamba8215]

legend

[@ProgrammerinToronto]

the legend!

[@henrikcarlsen1881]

When it comes from the Master himself, it punctures the story I have been telling that the Turbo Pascal initially started at $50 but buyers didn't trust such a cheap product. When they trippeled the price, people started buying it. Mythbusted, I guess.

[@johanrg70]

The Turbo Pascal compiler was awesome back then. It compiled code so fast compared to other compilers. Then he and his team decided to self host the typescript compiler in typescript... and I hate it. Not the language, that's ok, even though it's just sugared JS with types and some other neat features. But the speed... so damn slow compared to how fast it could have been if it had been written in a saner language than something that compiles down to JS. Wasting hours of peoples lives. Thank god that I only have to work with it occasionally, it would have driven me mad if I was stuck in that shit more often.

[@zetathix]

Ahh that can't do .. Hold my beer.

[@TwstedTV]

( 12:42 ) Im constantly told by microsoft official devs on Github ~ "Thats not possible, we cant do that...!! "...... Soooo, ya there goes that.....

[@b213videoz]

The Danish traitor who betrayed Pascal for millions of $ at Microsoft 😡 8:52 yeah, and all that was Delphi your own child you betrayed

[@killingman22]

so its YOUR FAULT!!!!
