> Learn Lisp. Realize that JavaScript is a lot like Lisp,

This would have been true a long time back when Lisp was the language with first class functions, closures etc., but today every other languages have those and JS is a lot closer to them Lisp.

Even if this was true, why not learn JS and skip the Lisp part?

May be with better 3rd party libraries. Out of the box, JS standard library sucks.
