Born:1961.07.04
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Made famous by JavaScript
Before:Chief Technology Officer of Mozilla Corporation
Now:The CEO of Brave Software.

Brendan Eich started out at Santa Clara University as a physics major, and in his junior year, his interests changed and he went into computer science, earning a bachelor's degree in mathematics and computer science and a master's degree in computer science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1986. After graduating, he joined SGI, where he worked for seven years, focusing on operating systems and networking functions. He then moved to MicroUnity where he worked for three years.

In 1995, Brendan Eich was hired by Netscape to investigate the possibility of using the Scheme language as a web script. But just a month later, Brendan Eich was appointed to design a "simplified version of the Java language," but he wasn't interested in Java at the time and completed the task given to him by the company in just 10 days—designing Javascript. Shortly after its release, Javascript was quickly incorporated into Netscape 2.0, and no one knows how far-reaching the impact of these 10 days of graffiti will be on future generations, which will take years to digest its many shortcomings due to its rushed release. It wasn't until 1999, when Javascript was released version 3.0 with some modifications, that it began to be widely used. In 2009, the open source JavaScript-based web project NodeJS was released, and until then, the browser had been the sole host of JavaScript. The release of NodeJS freed JavaScript from the shackles, and since then it has not suffered much setbacks and become the only king of front-end scripting.
