I can't say that Swift is like JavaScript, my technical knowledge is not enough to have an opinion about it. I say that looks like, or using the right terms, has as much syntactic elegance as JavaScript.

I programmed a little bit in Autolisp (lisp dialect for AutoCAD scripting) as amateur and what I liked about it is that everything works the same way (even if you don't know all functions is not a big deal), it's just a list. JavaScript looks like a mixture of paradigms and syntax, trying to please everybody. When I don't program in it often I forget most of the stuff. Probably it needs to be like this but it doesn't look like an optimal solution.
