The Prevailing Environment at Netscape in Those Days

I enjoyed 96. I was revising JavaScript and we were pushing it towards standardization finally later in the year. Under some moral pressure from people like Gates who was whining, Netscape keeps changing JavaScript incompatibly. So I think it was the pot calling the kettle black, but we did we did standardized JavaScript. We had it of grand vision to make a platform that could take down windows. But it didn't come about directly. Have you met Bill Gates? No.
