Poor Brendan. Wanting to write Scheme for the browser and ending up writing JavaScript. Sure, today JS is a proper language, but it atillmlacks the elegance and adherence to principle of scheme. Maybe that's why it's so successful :)

Yeah that really sucks for him that he became CEO of Mozilla off the back of a subpar baby’s first scheme built in a 10-day adderall binge and then lost his cushy undeserved position by being an unabashed homophobe. Poor guy.
