The excitement that Sriram shows is like a kid meeting his hero in the flesh.. so awesome to see that.. It was like that for me when I got to meet Kernighan & RItchie in 1992 and Bjarne Stroustrup in 1996.. Interesting how Denmark has produced some interesting folks in Computer Languages..
Anders is a giant. Yet humble, staying in zone, Zen Zen. Respect.
Hey folks - the video/audio are slightly out of sync on this. Working on fixing this but will leave this for now.
Just Wow . It has become my weekly routine to do my Saturday afternoon runs listening to Aarthi and sriram’s podcast. I generally stop at 5 mile mark and generally miss last few mins but today was so interesting that I had to literally go the extra mile(pun intended) to make sure I didn’t miss any part. Wonderful to find such a core architect in Anders Hejlsberg who breathes passion in every aspect of his work. I remember learning turbo pascal in my third grade at a nearby programming institute which was all rage back then in India but listening to key creator behind such wonderful products is nevertheless eye opening. Kudos to you both for great amount of research in getting such wonderful speakers
Great interview. Love listening to Anders. Especially with such intelligent, interesting questions. Good job!!
Thanks for another great show! I'd be really interested in hearing thoughts about Pony and some of the new languages now emerging.
baller pod! really loved the stories :)

I like that Anders has Buddha watching him in the back!

@@AarthiAndSriram Kudos for the iterative approach 👏🏾
By any chance your camera's shutter speed is very low? Because the way Sriram hands move looks unnatural (no trace of motion), only 10 mins in, hope it might go away 🤞

it's due to the editing out of "umms" and pauses sometimes leaving a few dropped frames. Anders audio is out of sync in places due to a different issue on our upload
Came from Tim Sweeney tweet. sodaHmm
My spiritual heart desires your True greatness I would like To meet you
