// JS Today
function List() {
  this.list = [].slice.call(arguments);
}


List.prototype.diff = function( array ) {
  return array.filter(function(item) {
    return !~this.list.indexOf(item);
  }, this);
};


var a = new List(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6);

a.diff([ 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 ]);
// [ 0, 8, 10 ]

// Block Lambda and Rest Params
function List( ...args ) {
  this.list = args;
}

List.prototype.diff = function( array ) {
  return array.filter({ |item|
    !~this.list.indexOf(item);
  });
};

Think about this

List.prototype.diff = function( array ) {
  return array.filter { |item|
    !~this.list.indexOf(item);
  }.sort { |a, b| 
    // Do something with a and b
  };
};

I'm not a fan of }.

Rick,

Note that you don't need the bind() call in ES5. The 2nd argument to filter() becomes the this value in the predicate.
I still want blocks, though!

Why the () around it?

In that case JS either gets implicit parens for function calls or block lambda becomes a special case you have to explain to every new js developer.

@david, ya know... I knew that and completely forgot thank you for pointing it out. I will update asap.

@ryan that only flies if paren-free makes the cut. I meant to be conservative about what is being illustrated
