Note that what Brendan Eich is saying is that the influence couldn't have happened that way because the work on a lot of the features in question for ES6 started before Dart was available. You can't be retroactively influenced.

But he is basically saying he wasn't influenced except in the places he was influenced like the CoffeeScript fat arrow and the Dart SIMD stuff in ES7. This is an argument about degrees of influence, not whether or not he was influenced (as he admitted that.) This is not a winnable argument by anyone, I have to move on.

See my reply above. You've changed from multiple false claims of influence, so ginned up to a high degree of influence that you concluded with a fulsome "Thank you Dart for showing us the way!", to "any influence at all", and "don't hassle me about differences of degree of influence!"
So, really sloppy original comment with multiple false claims. Should I just put up with that as part of HN's descent to /. quality? :-(
