Last i read some of it, the code was littered with let (as in immutable values). I think the mozilla js interpreter has quite a few extensions.

Let has nothing to do with immutability, you can use set! to modify a let binding. The point of let is that you can give a value a name within an expression. (f (let ((a 0)) a)) is valid scheme. f(var a = 1; a) is not valid JavaScript. The whole idea of separating expressions and statements is completely backwards.
That said, I wouldn't like to program in scheme either. Syntax does matter and I also want a good static type system.

the equivalent to
> (f (let ((a 0)) a))
in javascript is written like
> f( (function() { var a = 0; return a })() )
and it works.
