Anders Hejlsberg on AI and Language Design: 'AI is a Big Regurgitator' — TypeScript 7.0 Native Compiler in Preview
The Pragmatic Engineer·medium signal
Pragmatic Engineer interview with the creator of Turbo Pascal, C#, and TypeScript. Hejlsberg says existing languages are best optimized for AI coding because they have the largest training sets. TypeScript 7.0's native compiler (ported to Go, not C#) is in preview for performance reasons. On tooling: 'AI is no longer an assistant in the IDE — developers are supervising what it's doing, which is why MCP stuff is becoming interesting.'
