Most developers use TypeScript today…
But almost nobody knows who built it.
Anders Hejlsberg didn’t just create one language —
He built two of the most important tools in modern programming.
First, he created C# at Microsoft to compete with Java.
Then years later, he saw JavaScript breaking at scale…
So he built TypeScript to fix it — without replacing it.
That decision changed everything.
Today, TypeScript powers apps, startups, and tech giants.
And most people don’t even realize
It came from one developer.
