Irreal has often commented on the work of Charles Choi, most recently on his Casual App Suite. Choi has just published a nice cheatsheet for Python programmers who want to write in Elisp. The idea is to compare the various Python data structures and their Elisp analogs and to show the various functions for acting on them.
The idea is to allow Python programmers to more or less bootstrap their Python knowledge to write Elisp. I used to write a bit in Python but that was some time ago. I’d be more inclined to use Choi’s cheatsheet in reverse and use it to translate Elisp idioms into Python.
In any event, the cheatsheet should be useful for those of you who want to move from one language to the other. I have always felt (and said) that Elisp is a very simple language but that the hard part was mastering the library functions. Choi’s cheatsheet helps with this by relating the Elisp functions to those of a language you may be more familiar with. If you’re interested in learning Elisp, it’s a nice resource to have.
