In 1995, a Netscape employee wrote a hack in 10 days that now runs the Internet

quote [ Eich himself wrote in 2006 that “ECMAScript,” the official name for the language standard, “was always an unwanted trade name that sounds like a skin disease.” ]

No new facts for people in the know, but a nice recollection of 90s style programming and trademarks lingering in our machines. Also: the 10 days were a demo prototype, as the article states itself.
