Creator of Backbone.js and CoffeeScript

Jeremy Ashkenas

Jeremy Ashkenas created CoffeeScript, Backbone.js and Underscore.js - three projects that shaped front-end JavaScript in the early 2010s and whose ideas were later absorbed into the language itself and into modern frameworks. His account is a good case study in how influence and current activity can diverge on a GitHub profile.
