>In 1995, after 10 days of work, Brendan Eich created a scripting language for browsers. He called it Mocha. The language was renamed several times over the course of just a couple of months, and was eventually given the name we know today, JavaScript. Brendan originally wanted to add support for the Schema programming language to the Netscape browser, but his superiors wanted the language available in their browser to be more like the then popular Java [1].

I once worked on a tool that should let me code using blocks (like in Unreal Engine for example), but to allow it for me to write in my favorite language (Golang). I was really surprised with the overall experience and usability of this solution and I think it could help people like me to focus more on the coding aspect.
