It seems that programmers take their favorite feature of a programming language for comparing it to others: If you like first-class functions, then Javascript becomes "Scheme in the browser." If you miss having a REPL and then discover Python, it becomes "LISP with C-syntax." If you like objects responding to arbitrary messages, then Ruby is "Smalltalk without images" and so on.
