To be honest I kinda hate Anders Hejlsberg. If it wasn't him I wouldn't have gotten myself into Turbo Pascal and later Delphi and later into C#. I would've probably looked into C and Lisps. I spent years thinking Windows is the best OS and VS is the best IDE. I wish there was someone 20 years ago to stop me from falling into that trap. Well, I broke out of my bubble and now I feel free. No matter how nice it may look - dotnet is a mental prison.
