However, it could only achieved because MS financed a redo of the compiler. Instead of keeping the original.

It would be nice to have similar "specific" content for Databases (implementation, I assume) as well... ;)

#13Original author of Turbo Pascal, chief architect of Delphi, lead architect of C#, creator of TypeScript. Does anyone else in language design have as many accolades as this or designed languages on which trillions of dollars of commerce depend?
Brendan Eich probably scores even higher on that scale.

Stirred lots of controversy for having lopsided equality tables (ambiguity intended)
What's ambiguous about that? :-P

#17Not 100% related, but in 2004-2006 I was an entrepreneur in Italy, AND a full professor at a local university, teaching "Compilers and Programming Languages Lab" to students only a few years younger than me. For some reason, the budget for a full professorship (not permanent, but only 1-year long) was meager, I think it was ~1,600 Euros for the whole year. As a consequence, the usual corrupted nominations didn't happ…

#18Specifically, the backwards compatibility story of the standard library is a mess (all the different .NET Framework versions, or wait, do I mean .NET Standard, or WinRT, or...?) and the package manager (NuGet) is not very impressive.
I figure that the good stuff (the core language design and CLR) comes from Hejlsberg and his team, while the clunky stuff comes from the wider Windows teams at Microsoft.
Are there many people using C# for things other than Windows apps and cross-platform games? I get the impression that Java is still much bigger for cloud infrastructure, finance etc, but maybe I'm wrong.

I don't think anyone can beat Dennis Ritchie on the "designed languages on which trillions of dollars of commerce depend" metric, especially when we consider the many languages which are themselves implemented in C.
