ONDotnet.com is running an interview with Anders Hejlsberg, the chief architect of C#.

It starts by discussing C#-related developments over the past five years, including the effect of C# and .NET on Java usage, as well as the C# standardization efforts. There is also some discussion regarding the first-class treatment of properties, events, and methods in C#, plus some discussion about LINQ. Hejlsberg talks about C# generics, and how they compare with Java generics and C++ templates. Anonymous methods, nullable types, and other upcoming developments are also mentioned.
