Your result should be unsurprising. Lisps have a minimal syntax that naturally entails high levels of nesting: (s-)expressions being used to represent functions, control structures, data, etc.

Why should a particular style convention appropriate for that kind of language necessarily transplant well to JavaScript-- a brace-delimited, Algol-inspired language with a lot of syntax?
