Re: How to write X in both Python 3 and JavaScript
#32Sort example doesn't take into account Javascript does lexicographical sorting?
javascript:
someList = [ 40, 2, 1, 3, 7, 99]
someList.sort()
Array(6) [ 1, 2, 3, 40, 7, 99 ]
someList = [ 40, 2, 1, 3, 7, 99]
sorted(someList)
[1, 2, 3, 7, 40, 99]Re: How to write X in both Python 3 and JavaScript
#33How to write using X in both languages: Python: https://github.com/python-xlib/python-xlib Node.js: https://github.com/sidorares/node-x11
A couple more native X11 client implementations:
Common Lisp: https://github.com/sharplispers/clx
Go: https://github.com/BurntSushi/xgb
Any others?
(Looking for implementations of the X11 protocol in $LANGUAGE, not bindings to the C Xlib)

#34Creator here! Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks for the site! Do you have thoughts on removing all the print/console.logs calls on every line? It feels like there's a lot of visual noise there, that can still be met with the comments showing state/output.

I might suggest replacing javascript's parseInt() with Number()

#36I thought this was going to be a polyglot[1] demonstration of writing code for X Windows. However, I was not disappointed in what I found!

I really like the page. I really enjoyed going through the list. One suggestion would be to add python/javascript generator functions to the list.

It would be nice to have a sectioin with things that work differently in both languages. For example in python `if []:` evaluates to False while in javascript `if ([]) {` evaluates to True.

#39A 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).
Agreed. The value isn’t in it being a tutorial, it’s in it being a quick overview of a language’s idioms as they apply to common tasks.

#40As 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.
Me too. On any given day, I can be using any of a half dozen languages (C#, powershell, javascript, bash, perl, python, c++, java - our codebase is all over the place). It gets hard to keep the syntax straight on all of them.
