ECMAScript is kind of like Scheme in Java clothing. I saw a website a
while back where someone translated a lot of the code from The Little
Schemer into Javascript. It's got a lot of warts compared to the
pristine beauty of Scheme, and it's missing the nice syntactic
abstraction capability, but at least you get higher-order
functions. :)
