New Coupla nits about Anders Hejlsberg
From [link|http://delphi.about.com/library/weekly/aa112902b.htm|the article Alex quoted:]
During his time with Borland he extended its' Turbo Pascal compiler. Eventually he became the chief architect for the team which produced the replacement for Turbo Pascal - Delphi.
Actually, he created Turbo Pascal, even before it was a Borland product (and probably before it was called "Turbo"); Phillipe Kahn employed Anders and brought him over to the States, and bought his compiler at the same time.


Further, from the same article:
As a chief architect at Borland, Hejlsberg secretly turned Turbo Pascal into an object-oriented application development language, complete with a truly visual environment and superb database-access features.
Uh, since Delphi was sold to millions of customers world-wide, it's hardly all that "secret", now is it...

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575|Ashton Brown]
