I'm glad they didn't write a tutorial that made another Lisp - I'd your audience is javacript developers, a lisp isn't all that appealing usually.

Anyways, this is such a detailed series of tutorials I may be distracted for days bringing my half finished programming language back from the dead.

I do a lot of JavaScript and Lisp is extremely appealing to me. JavaScript is a functional language, but not a very good one. Lisps are much better at doing functional programming than JavaScript. So a Lisp that translates to JavaScript is right up my alley.
