#12but but no need to write both, just one and compile the other (http://piter.io/projects/js2py, http://pyjs.org/, etc..)

#13As someone who is often switching languages, I find these sorts of cheatsheets useful.
I know all the syntax in them but I'll be damned if I can ever remember which language uses which until I've settled back in to things.

#14Creator here! Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Consider renaming to "How to write $X in both Python 3 and JavaScript" to avoid the confusion with X11 that others have pointed out? Nice article!

Nice list.
Perhabs just personal preference but I'd use
for(let element of someList){
console.log(element);
}
someList.forEach(element => {
console.log(element)
})

Nice list. Perhabs just personal preference but I'd use for(let element of someList){ console.log(element); } instead of someList.forEach(element => { console.log(element) }) for...of is easier to read and recognize as a loop construct at first glance, and as far as I recall it's also faster nowadays since the body of the loop is inline, whereas forEach requires the runtime to deal with a function object.
Makes me wonder if maybe the syntax for mapping, folding and other collection operations should have a similar syntax to for instead of the current method-style syntax popular in most modern languages.

#18A weird reference imo. Perhaps useful to build as a learning experience but I wouldn't expect who needs if/else included in a cheat sheet to be ready to learn to languages.
The value is in finding what is the most idiomatic way to do something in either language. For example if you're coming from Python and you're used to sum() it is useful to check this reference for the most idiomatic way to do it in JavaScript before doing it by hand with anonymous functions and reduce or looping through the list (as is the case unfortunately).
