How can I write side by side code comparison table

How can I write side by side code comparison table

[Jisang Yoo]

I can write a table:

| Python | Emacs Lisp |
|--------+------------|
|        |            |

and I can write two source code blocks:

#+BEGIN_SRC python
  a = [0, 1, 2]
  a[0] += 10
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
  (setq a (vector 0 1 2))
  (cl-incf (elt a 0) 10)
#+END_SRC

but I don't know how to combine the two-column table with the two
source code blocks in a way that exports to code tables like in
Emergency Elisp

The ODT exporter - I believe it is *the only* exporter - that has
something called list tables.  See attachments.  You can make a special
request to turn it on for other exporters.

As far as HTML export is concerned there are some special CSS tricks
that you can use.  Search for posts by Christian Moe and look for the
keywords "side-by-side", "list table" or something like that.  You will
see atleast 3-5 threads where this question has popped up.

how about for scalars as example blocks:

#+name: emacs-scalar
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
"emacs-lisp"
#+END_SRC

#+name: perl-scalar
#+BEGIN_SRC perl :results value
return "perl";
#+END_SRC

#+HEADER: :colnames '(emacs perl)
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var a=emacs-scalar b=perl-scalar
`((,a ,b))
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
| emacs      | perl |
|------------+------|
| emacs-lisp | perl |


and generalized for lists:

#+name: list1
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
'(a1 a2)
#+END_SRC

#+name: list2
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
'(b1 b2)
#+END_SRC

#+HEADER: :colname-names '((nil list1 list2))
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var l1=list1 l2=list2
(require 'cl)
(mapcar* 'list l1 l2)
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
| list1 | list2 |
|-------+-------|
| a1    | b1    |
| a2    | b2    |
