     @astrid @jiub Just one lacking most of the actual things that distinguish Lisp from others.
     
     It is impossible to fix bloat and syntaxic problems in Javascript because one doesn't have the ability to work on the AST from within the language itself. One needs to beg the standard bodies for it.
     
     JS' design is closer to Self from what I've heard, too.
