“I wrote FAT on an airplane, for heaven's sake”
So the FAT story may be an exaggeration, but does Brandon Eich's Javascript-in-10-days (
http://www.quora.com/JavaScript/In-which-10-days-of-May-did-...
) still count as a "STFU-I'm-the-boss" feat?

You have a typo: Brandon Eich -> Brendan Eich. Not nitpicking, am compelled to point out since it is a name.

Compatibility with C and its toolchain.

I think that's a weak response. obj-c was just as compatible and a far less horrible language design.

Actually I don't have any praise for Objective-C's design.
And it also suffers from the same issues that pollute C++'s design.
