Not to be snarky, but that's like saying 'Javascript is just a Lisp except without the only characteristic that defines a Lisp'.

All the dialects of Lisp differ except in their homoiconicity, which is the one thing that gives Lisps their incredible expressive power.

I get frustrated when I hear people refer to languages with first-class functions as Lisp-like, because lots of languages have first-class functions, but that doesn't give them the power of Lisp - Lisp draws its power from homoiconic structure, which almost no other languages have (certainly not Javascript).
