Why anyone would have the idea to mix two different langauges in one
tutorial is beyond me.

And calling that web page a tutorial is a large stretch of imagination.
It is a random collection of primitve code samples, organized roughly by
area. No learning goals, no explanation of concepts, ...


Apparently you changed your ID to escape all the filters you have been a
permanent guest to. This 'tutorial' confirms that this is the best place
for you. So back you go again.

Both typical, and illustrative of Xah's skill level. :-)

It's an interesting idea to present two or more languages in parallel -
it would assist someone going "sideways" from one language to another.

I'm a big fan of code samples - most of my code starts as other people's
code samples.

I'm not interested in Xah Lee's tutorials enough to check whether they're
any good or not, but he does have some interesting things to say about
Emacs.

What I think is missing, Xah, is that the actual result. I.e, showing that
"you can do this" only covers less than half of the tutorial, showing what
the result is is more important.
