JavaScriptはSICPの影響を受けて開発した

JavaScriptの開発者であるBrendan Eichのブログに書いてありますね。

As I've often said, and as others at Netscape can confirm, I was recruited to Netscape with the promise of "doing Scheme" in the browser. At least client engineering management including Tom Paquin, Michael Toy, and Rick Schell, along with some guy named Marc Andreessen, were convinced that Netscape should embed a programming language, in source form, in HTML. So it was hardly a case of me selling a "pointy-haired boss" -- more the reverse.
Whether that language should be Scheme was an open question, but Scheme was the bait I went for in joining Netscape. Previously, at SGI, Nick Thompson had turned me on to SICP.

I'm not proud, but I'm happy that I chose Scheme-ish first-class functions and Self-ish (albeit singular) prototypes as the main ingredients.

なぜSchemeなのかとよく尋ねられたが、私にとってNetscapeSchemeができるのはとても魅力だった。 (ブラウザに載せる言語が)Schemeであるべきかどうかってのはわからなかったけど、私はとにかくSchemeという餌に食いついてNetscapeに移った。以前SGIで、Nick Thompsonが私にSICPのことを教えてくれた)
