Javascript è indubbiamente una mezza ciofeca, ma Brendan Eich non è un incompetente: si è solo trovato a lavorare sotto le solite assurde pressioni di tempo. Nel 2008 scriveva: "I was recruited to Netscape with the promise of “doing Scheme” in the browser. [...] What was needed was a convincing proof of concept, AKA a demo. That, I delivered, and in too-short order it was a fait accompli." Ha avuto due-tre settimane, e la sua demo è quello che ci ritroviamo. "The diktat from upper engineering management was that the language must “look like Java”. That ruled out Perl, Python, and Tcl, along with Scheme." [...] "I'm not proud, but I'm happy that I chose Scheme-ish first-class functions and Self-ish (albeit singular) prototypes as the main ingredients. The Java influences, especially y2k Date bugs but also the primitive vs. object distinction (e.g., string vs. String), were unfortunate." [...] "Is JavaScript popular? It's hard to say. Some Ajax developers profess (and demonstrate) love for it. Yet many curse it, including me. I still think of it as a quickie love-child of C and Self. Dr. Johnson‘s words come to mind: "the part that is good is not original, and the part that is original is not good."
