While C# isn't my favorite language, I always enjoy reading Eric Lippert's measured take on language design. He also has a particularly good sense for how to step back from a question and reframe it in an insightful way, which makes him a good interviewee.

Well, C# basically followed the footsteps of Java. Nothing too novel about that.

Is there a reason why you linked to your blog, and not the full interview at the original source?

Thanks for the original link. Another reason why I read comments mostly before the story.

It seems like the poster is a spammer. All his posts are texts copied from other sources.

We banned the site and changed the link. Thanks wslh and dgritsko.

Her. Taken from that very blog:

"Josette Garcia is the PR / Marketing Manager for O’Reilly in the UK.

If you would like to contact Josette, you can reach her at:"

So, spamming for O'Reilly? :)

He has great insights and uses classical analogies to explain ideas. Here is his stackoverflow profile

containing a lot of answers, worth reading even if you are not exactly looking for solution to the problem at hand.

What will the feature set of C# 6.0 be?
I am under NDA and cannot discuss it in details ... Incidentally, I knew Wesner slightly in the 1990s. Among his many claims to fame is he invented the pivot table. Interesting guy.

I.e. HINT HINT (just don't ask me what he's hinting)

Pivot tables are from Excel which is very... functional. So, more functional programming features?

wesnerm2• 12 years ago

I don't usually see my name mentioned on the Internet, but I did not invent PivotTables. I essentially was the only full-time developer of PivotTables in Excel 97, and after that release, about 50% of the PivotTable code was written by me.

I love the way Eric cheerfully ignores the practical aspects of thawing and freezing cooks while explaining by analogy the difference between asynchronous and parallel processing. I wish I could do that as flawlessly as he can.
