JavaScript is syntax sugar for Scheme (Lisp variant). Lisp is proven to support large scale apps, but you need to cook it using another cookbook.

- manyoso 11y agoI have a lot of respect for Lisp/Scheme, but I wouldn't regard Emacs as the most maintainable of large scale apps. Besides, the ability level of the average Lisp/Scheme developer and the average Javascript developer is likely not commensurate.
- lisivka 11y agoIt is funny that I downvoted on YCombinator site. :-) See few hints how to write efficient lisp: http://www.paulgraham.com/carl.html http://www.paulgraham.com/carl.html . You can apply them to JS too.
