programmers of Masto, which do you find easier to read?

1: filtered = _filterNumericArrayKeys(array)
2: filtered = array.filter(function($key, $val) { return isInt($key) })

@noiob I don't know the language, but my personal best choice would be array.filter(f) with a descriptively named helper f, like isKeyNumeric or something

Out of these, I think the first one

@socks language shouldn't matter but this is pseudo-JS. The original code in question was PHP

@noiob filter for me! because that way you can see exactly what the filter is doing rather than relying on the name communicating the edge cases well~

though i personally also like to break lambdas into multiple lines so it's easy to find the body of the lambda without scanning the rest of the line:

array.filter(function($key, $val) {
return isInt($key);
})
