I view this interview as a companion to the previous one, with focus on JavaScript. This time, we hear from the original developer. While working with Java in the mid-90s, JavaScript seemed to just fall out of the sky, with no apparent relationship, other than the name, to Java. I was interested to read about the (chaotic) environment where it was developed.
While I like that book author preserved the original language of the interviewees, Brendan has a very jargon-filled speaking style, and I think in this case it distracted from some of the message.
Bendan seems a little adverse to theoretical computer science, yet his work seems be highly intertwined with these topics! He also seems somewhat anti-design patterns, which is a common theme in this book, so far.
