Yes, but that was seven years ago, and Things Are Different Now.
(Just leafed through their twitter. I'm seeing a lot of the same clique as were involved in the node.js brouhaha last year. Is this conference really worth the fuss?)
- EGreg 8y agoThis whole thing is a bit amusing. So Brendan Eich invented JS, and then led Mozilla. And being in the Brendan Eich Fan Club in 2011 probably was a positive thing and a cool thing for JS people. Then much later, Brendan Eich donates $1000 to some political thing people strongly disagree with So retroactively, being a fan of Brendan Eich means you are a homophobic hater and must be blocked? I am quite sure this ain’t it :)
