JFTR: I do not agree with much that Crockford claims there (maybe I will add
my remarks on it some day), but the point I wanted to make with this
reference is where he is correct there: “JavaScript”, if you understand that
to mean all ECMAScript implementations (and you should not; Crockford
*oversimplifies* there), is “Lisp in C's Clothing” indeed.
In fact, Brendan Eich, creator of (Netscape) JavaScript, wrote *verbatim* in
his 2008 blog entry that he “was recruited to Netscape with the promise of
‘doing Scheme’ in the browser”. Scheme, too, supports both imperative and
functional programming as it was influenced by Lisp, and is described as one
of the main dialects of Lisp (the other being Common Lisp).
<https://brendaneich.com/2008/04/popularity/>
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheme_(programming_language)>
Also, ECMAScript and its implementations ActionScript (Macromedia/Adobe in
Flash), ECMAScript for XML (formerly, Mozilla in Firefox), JavaScript
(Netscape et al. in various environments), and JScript (Microsoft in
Internet Explorer, maybe also Edge)¹ are rightfully listed under
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming_languages_by_type#Functional_languages>
in the “Impure” subsection, along with Lisp and Scheme. (Whereas AISB,
Haskell is rightfully listed in the “Pure” subsection.)
[Not my doing this time, but good to see for a change, as Wikipedia
unfortunately has a history of propagating misconceptions about
ECMAScript.]
