JavaScript was definitely partly inspired by Scheme.
- zem 9y agolikewise ruby by lisp
- Gaelan 9y agoI’d say Ruby’s closest sibling is Smalltalk personally.
- kazinator 9y agoPeople say this mainly because of the brace-enclosed blocks of code being functions. However, that is really just a syntactic sugar for lambda (and can even have explicit arguments: (lambda (x y) ...) <--> {|x,y| ... }.
- zem 9y agothere's the "everything is objects and messages sent to them" bit too, which is definitely from smalltalk. ruby took the good bits from several languages.
