I'm amazed at how generous Brendan is with his time. He responds to tweets, and to numerous comments on his blog. When I asked him to look over the part of my CoffeeScript book that deals with the history of JavaScript, he not only did so, he also offered technical corrections and suggestions pertaining to other parts of the book. Just today, he took to HN to participate in a vigorous discussion of Google's forthcoming Dart language: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2982256 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2982256 In short: Rather than using the creator of JavaScript as a strawman in a meandering diatribe (one that's 3,700 words long and yet "only 1/3 done"), you should try to organize your thoughts and engage with him.
