Guess ES6 takes some wind out of this guy's rant: http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2013/07/18/javascript-isnt-scheme/ http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2013/07/18/javascript-isnt... He argues that JS only has 3 of the 9 essential elements of Scheme. ES6 gains tail call elimination and lexical block scope. Though I guess it arguably gives up "minimalism." So now it's 4/9. If it gets macros (which there has been talk of happening in the future) it'll be 5/9.
