While I have no inarguable proof to refute you, and maybe it's easy to sound cool when history has proven one correct, my characterization of "humble genius" is based on DC's low-key presentation within the podcast. At no point did I perceive him to assert any sort of personal superiority. While I use his JSON creation heavily, JavaScript as such is the second least attractive language, after PHP, in my view.

at no point did you think that him saying "I was right all along and everyone who opposed me was wrong" is not a message of personal superiority? giving that message is to claim superiority over others, whether it is intentional or not. this podcast is the most humble I have ever heard him, to be fair, but make no mistake; DC is not a humble person. A humble person would not have said "JSON was my/our idea" or "I was right"; a humble person would not be on a podcast talking about themselves at all.
