I think you might be misinterpreting that quotation. I read it as saying that problems perceived in the older languages informed CLR and C# in the sense that an understanding of those flaws and shortcomings allowed them to be avoided or ameliorated in the newer design. I know very little about CLR and C# nor have I ever heard of Anders Hejlsberg, for what it's worth. > ...
