Mathias Bynens 8ee50178f3 Avoid confusing prototype methods for static methods
Correct: `Array.from()` (it’s a static method)
Incorrect: `Array.join()` (doesn’t exist; it’s a prototype method)

This patch uses the common `#` syntax to denote `.prototype.`.

differenceBy

Returns the difference between two arrays, after applying the provided function to each array element of both.

Create a Set by applying fn to each element in b, then use Array.prototype.filter() in combination with fn on a to only keep values not contained in the previously created set.

const differenceBy = (a, b, fn) => {
  const s = new Set(b.map(v => fn(v)));
  return a.filter(x => !s.has(fn(x)));
};
differenceBy([2.1, 1.2], [2.3, 3.4], Math.floor); // [1.2]
differenceBy([{ x: 2 }, { x: 1 }], [{ x: 1 }], v => v.x); // [ { x: 2 } ]
