>>"It is interesting to note that Brendan Eich's severance pay when he was forced out of Mozilla was just $113,000"

He was 11 days on the job, so, not so bad.

He was a co-founder of Mozilla. What the hell? He had been CTO before he was made CEO.

If anything he should have been fired from Mozilla for that reason

Javascript has many faults, but go look into the history of how/why it was created and given that context, it's likely many would do far worse than he did.
