I learned Lisp after I learned Javascript, so I had the opposite experience of discovering that a bunch of Lisp-y things worked just as I expected them to. I would never claim that Javascript is scheme (and it doesn’t sound like that’s what you’re claiming), but the things I love about Javscript are also things I love about scheme. Is it the homoiconic-ness of the s-expressions you like? Personally, I'd love to see continuations in Javascript, despite the potential for horrible abuse. Deeply nested callbacks are a pain in the ass. Of course, promises are a pretty decent solution.
