I like bitching about JS as much as the next guy, and as someone who has implemented ECMA-262 I guess I’m more entitled than most. But let’s not get carried away with it. Eich had 9 days from unreasonable manager to shipping physical media. To do kind of a cool Scheme/Self thing from scratch in 9 days? I’ve been on some high-G burns, but that’s fucking nuts. But since there’s no scientific way to quantify any of this, I’ll throw my anecdote on the scale in favor of my opinion and note that Brendan Eich was a hard-ass Irix hacker at SGI before he followed Jim Clark to Netscape.
