There's no point in making Scheme in Javascript when Javascript already is Scheme.

This. JavaScript is literally an adaptation of Scheme to have java-like syntax.

You're saying internally? 'Cause it looks nothing and works nothing like a lisp. Doesn't even have macros.

JavaScript's C-like syntax, including curly braces and the clunky for statement, makes it appear to be an ordinary procedural language. This is misleading because JavaScript has more in common with functional languages like Lisp or Scheme than with C or Java. It has arrays instead of lists and objects instead of property lists. Functions are first class. It has closures. You get lambdas without having to balance all those parens.
