What is the equivalent of a python dictionary like {'a':1, 'b':2} in elisp?
And again, does elisp have any map-reduce api?
回答1:
Association lists are the most commonly used associative containers in elisp. It is just a list of key-value cons cells like this ((key . value)). You can use the assoc function to get a value corresponding to a key and rassoc to get a key with the required value.
Elisp comes with the built-in function mapcar which does map, but AFAIK there is no good fold facility. You could emulate it using any of the looping facilities provided. However, the better solution is to use cl-lib and slip into CommonLisp land. In particular, it supplies cl-mapcar and cl-reduce.

Besides association lists,(whose algorithmic complexity is OK for small tables but not for large ones), there are hash tables, you can construct with make-hash-table and puthash, or if you prefer immediate values, you can write them as #s(hash-table data a 1 b 2).
