Summary: Deep Fried Bytes attended and was a sponsor of the CodeMash 2.0.0.9 event in Sandusky, OH in January 2009. Keith and Woody had a chance to sit down with Mads Torgersen of the C# team at Microsoft to discuss the past, present and future of the C# language. Thanks to our guest this episode Mads Torgersen is the Language PM for C# at Microsoft. He runs the C# language design meetings, takes the notes, maintains the language specification and that type of language lawyer activity. He also occasionally gets to go out and meet real customers, as well as some of the self-established customer spokespeople that populate events like CodeMash. Before joining Microsoft 3 years ago, Mads was almost a real academic, working as an Associate Professor at a Danish university and doing programming language research. During that time he ran a collaboration with Sun Microsystems to design and implement generic wildcards in Java.
