Anders Hejlsberg is a world treasure as far as I'm concerned.

After basically single-handedly creating Torbo Pascal, he was the architect of Delphi, C# and now TypeScript. I don't think that anybody touched the lives of so many programmers quite like he did.

I owe to him, having learned that systems programming doesn't need to be C like unsafe, thanks to having learned my ways into it via TP 3.0 - 6.0, before meeting C.

Having done Spectrum coding before also helped.
