lisp really is a stupid language

There's some measure of "purity" working at that level of abstraction -- not a lot of messy syntax in the way. Of course, the reason we don't work at that level is humans are syntax machines. Lisp is more machine-level than human-level.

Languages like Lisp were adopted because companies did not want to invest money in a real language. It is easy to write a parser for a Lisp-like language. The parser pushes the token into a stack, and pops up when right parenthesis is found. Those languages are not suitable for human consumption, difficult to read and maintain.

Not only is it a stupid language but its deficiencies are so severe and obvious that anyone who doesn't see them should be kept far far away from software development.

Two reason to why I see Javascript as a very Lispy language is
1) Javascript was in fact designed by one of the creators of Scheme
2) It is trivial to compile Scheme to Javascript; almost every construct in Scheme can be mapped one-to-one to a construct in Javascript.
