Ted Leung points to an interesting interview (part 1) of Anders Hjelsberg on Artima.com.

The interview is mainly about the design and some of the choices that went into creating C#. Its very interesting to see some of the choices and logic applied when creating development language.

Ted points out a great quote by Anders:

"I'm a strong believer that if you don't have anything right to say, or anything that moves the art forward, then you'd better just be completely silent and neutral, as opposed to trying to lay out a framework."

I guess this goes back to what my mother said all of the time, "If you don't have anything nice to say..don't say anything". Who would have thought my mom and Anders would have so much in common :)

In part 1 of the interview, Anders mentions an internal wiki that is used for the design process. I would love to read that some day.
