Little nitpick. C# was created by Anders Hejlsberg who studied at DTU (Copenhagen). He also implemented Turbo Pascal. Borland was also a company founded by Danes.

In general, programming language theory is pretty strong in Denmark, with lots of other contributions.

For example, the standard graduate textbook in static program analysis (Nielson & Nielson) is also Danish. Mads Tofte made lots of contributions to Standard ML, etc.

Aarhus is an outstanding university. There are a couple of dozen universities in Europe that lack the prestige of Oxbridge but offer high quality education and perform excellent research.
