dash.el is a modern list manipulation library for Emacs Lisp, providing a rich functional-style list API without requiring the cl library. It includes anaphoric macro variants and tooling like fontification and Info symbol lookup support.
Use cases
- manipulate lists in Emacs Lisp with map/filter/reduce functions
- avoid using cl-lib for list operations in Emacs packages
- write more readable functional-style Elisp code
- add a modern list API dependency to an Emacs package
- fontify dash variables like it and acc in Elisp buffers
When to choose
- you are writing Emacs Lisp and need expressive list processing functions
- you want a well-maintained, widely-used list library available on GNU ELPA and MELPA
- you prefer functional-style list operations without cl-lib dependencies
When to avoid
- you are not programming in Emacs Lisp
- you only need basic built-in list functions and want zero dependencies
