    JS has moved in the functional language direction for at least the last decade modern JS is more scheme-like than Java-like tbh. the class abstraction doesn’t even work the same way in JS than it does in say java or C#

      Oh I know, it’s just the syntax part that would be nice. Lisp syntax is great for highly functional stuff whereas it feels kinda forced in JS.

      Like I said I mostly use Python, so “functional” to me is a comprehension statement (which I think is great syntax), but that type of thing just flows better with syntax specifically designed for it.
