I mean, without any definitions I'd say JavaScript.

It's kinda like Scheme: first class functions, vars and functions share namespace, etc

This. The first iteration of JavaScript by the creator was literally scheme. Later converted to the C-like syntax we know today because "boss don't like scheme".
