Does anyone get the scheme joke on that page? The only thing that comes to mind is that I think the (cond) construct used there doesn't exist in pure scheme.

Maybe the fact that JavaScript was originally supposed to be Scheme but ended up having C syntax for political reasons.

(cond) exists in pure R5RS, and probably all the others.
