First-class functions (esp. anonymous functions) see relatively little use in python, due to the hobbled syntax. For example, you can&#x27;t use `print` in a lambda, raise exceptions, or define any variables. In JavaScript, using an anonymous function is no different than any other function, and not surprisingly they are ubiquitous. I&#x27;d wager that this is the primary reason that JavaScript is compared to LISP so much more often than Python is. There&#x27;s also the fact that JavaScript functions are all variadic, which also is similar to LISP. Also Python encourages OOP much more than JavaScript. So yeah the &quot;look and feel&quot; of python is quite a bit different from JS and from scheme as well.
