Brendan Eich is the next Elon Musk

Say what you will of Elon Musk, at least he didn't inflict Javascript upon the world.

I don't know about this take. I'm not sure how serious you are about it, but imagine a web without Javascript. Perhaps we'd all be using proprietary abominations such as Java or Flash today, not knowing what would've been possible with a more open, albeit somewhat clunky, programming language that's supported by every browser.
