Anders Hejlsberg has the REBOL book!

Just noticed while watching the video that Hejlsberg has the REBOL book on his shelf. Rock.

What do you find so interesting about the fact that he had a REBOL book?

It's a relatively obscure language with some interesting ideas which I've followed to some degree. So, I'm psyched that he's interested in it, and I was surprised that out of all the books to have right on the shelf in front of him he has the REBOL book. Also, I'm wondering if some of the ideas he was showing off about the domain-specific languages in C#3.0 take any inspiration from REBOL dialecting.

Nice. I will have to look into REBOL. Mr. Hejlsberg is a true genius. Everything that he has touched has been gold.

I didn't realize that he was the lead of J++. I've often said that J++ was "a version of Java that actually worked".

Anders is smart, open-minded and determined to make C# the preeminent programmming language for the coming years. It will by far have the most "freedom" of the "safety" languages. Smiley

The Mono port of C# to Linux seems to be having more of an impact than I thought. There are developers I know who previously had no interest in Linux whatsoever who are now installing SuSE and Red Hat just to see their .NET apps run on a non-Windows environment.

A solid port to Unix and Java will truly be legacy.
