HN comment orderI also like https://learnxinyminutes.com for when I need to understand some code in an unfamiliar language. That site also accepts contributions from anyone via pull request on GitHub.
Useful in a pinch, but I would not recommend using these. Make your own. If you plan on using the language, making your own cheat sheet is the best way to learn it. By the time you are able to make one, you know what you use, what you always forget, and what is obscure, but important enough to need a quick refresher.
Most cheatsheets I find when searching are subject to heavy devaluation of the term. For me, a cheatsheet is a 1-page physical document listing the most important possibilities of a language, api or technology in the most concise way possible. Many cheatsheets I find are multi-page or even larger websites, have very verbose information on them and contain redundant information. That being said, I really like your effort in this!
Kudos! I really like it and will use it. There is a problem with RegExp links: 404 errors. http://overapi.com/javascript/jsref_regexp_charset.asp
