map/filter an array: spot the odd one out
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].map {|i| i * 2 }.find_all {|i| i > 5 }
# I have started monkey-patching `alias_method :filter, :find_all` in Array.
List(1, 2, 3, 4, 5).map(_ * 2).filter(_ > 5)
<?php
array_filter(
array_map( function($x) { return $x * 2; }, array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)),
function($x) { if ($x > 5) { return true; } else { return false; } }
);
/* Here's the result:
Array
(
[2] => 6
[3] => 8
[4] => 10
)
What's going on here? Oh yeah, it's called PHP being shit. Having mapped and filtered
our array, it now returns us an array with all the key values being wrong. To access
the first value of this new array, instead of using [0], one must now use [2].
Gotta love the lack of distinction between associative arrays and lists in this
failure of a language.
Still, good on the PHP team for adding closures to PHP 5.3. */

# Clever but fugly. Not at all Zen-like. Oh well.

# enough nested list comprehensions... ;)
