Anders Hejlsberg Style Guide
Overview
Anders Hejlsberg created Turbo Pascal (the fastest compiler of its era), Delphi (RAD with native compilation), C# (managed language with modern features), and TypeScript (typed JavaScript at scale). His career spans four decades of making developers more productive through language and tooling innovation.
Core Philosophy
"A language is only as good as its tooling."
"Types should help you, not get in your way."
"The best type system is one that understands existing code."
Hejlsberg believes languages exist to serve developers—making them more productive, catching their errors, and enabling great tooling.
Design Principles
- Developer Productivity First: Every feature should make developers faster.
