#22How to write using X in both languages: Python: https://github.com/python-xlib/python-xlib Node.js: https://github.com/sidorares/node-x11
This is what I actually thought the article was going to be about!

This what I expected from the title.

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.
Personally I find the method-style syntax significantly more readable.

You can also ‘return’ the outer function from within a ‘for...of’ which is pretty useful imo.

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.
C# has a syntax called Linq Query Syntax that provides keywords in the language to do things like map, filter, and reduce.
Example:
var queryLondonCustomers = from cust in customers
where cust.City == "London"
select cust;
