EcmaScript. It Was planned with scheme in mind and you can still feel it today. It is funny that many things people dislike about it have it's origin in scheme. One of the problems is that it doesn't look like a LISP language and people just see it like a Java like language. If they would familiarize themselves with the concepts, they would probably get the idea behind the language.

Dynamic scope, "this", implicit casting. These are not scheme ideas.
