Hello! I have a question about JavaScript.

I am kind of new to "higher" computer science, I've always been programming a bit but now have a university module about programming. My question is how you got the idea of inventing a new programming language? I mean there are so many programming languages, why do you put this whole lot of effort into making a new one? And how did you know that so many people would use it, so the effort paid out for you?

Thank you for making this AmA!

What do you think of Wikipedia as a source for work in school/university or scholar work in general ? Was it made for that purpose?
