Well, this is interesting.

The first tweet which Brendan Eich has made since Thursday is to me in response to my "MiracleScript" comment.

  Lets hope the "top men" are not similar to the ones mentioned in the last scene of "Raiders of the Lost Ark"

  I have already sent him a linkedin request.
  We'll have to see if he makes the connection that the linkedin and twitter accounts are connected.

      Depends on whether he signed away his rights. Being at the level that he was, perhaps he has an IP agreement of some sort that he retains some rights.

        Although he was forced to step down he is co-founder with lots of interest in Mozilla. However, this is a perfect example of how corporate "entity" works. It has its own rights separate from its creators. I think they made a fated decision, but Eich is at least publicly highly supportive of the company. He loses money in this boycott.

Tracemonkey per mozilla:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/JavaScript:Trac......
TraceMonkey adds native‐code compilation to Mozilla’s JavaScript® engine (known as “SpiderMonkey”). It is based on a technique developed at UC Irvine called “trace trees”, and building on code and ideas shared with the Tamarin Tracing project. The net result is a massive speed increase both in the browser chrome and Web‐page content.

I wonder what "tracemonkey" is?

  It looks like an eventual replacement for JavaScript.

    So, assuming that he's receiving some sort of royalties or remuneration from JS, this would be another loss?
