It's an interesting statement. The languages certainly share a lot of
common features (dynamically typed, garbage-collected, first-class
functions, objects are dictionaries...). I've caught myself
introducing people to the language with something like, "It's very
much like JS, except mainly for the different syntax and object/class
system," on more than one occasion. And as Elias says, it's also got a
strong metaphorical truth to it.
