Readit Newsarray_filter takes (arr, callback)
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-filter.php
array_map takes (callback, arr)
One function works against a single element, whereas the other works against multiple. In that case, the parameter order is more meaningful. You can use array_walk if you want (arr, callback), but that only works against a single array -- similarly to array_filter.
We are not in the early days though, and in many other aspects PHP evolved greatly.
If we want to change the param order of str/array functions for php, I think we should start with fixing the C libraries. That seems like a better starting point. The impact will certainly be more beneficial to even more developers than just php.
"Filter for this function in this array"
"Map over this array with this function"
When you use the correct verbiage, the parameter order makes sense.
There isn't a good reason for PHP to have inherited C's issues here.

GitHub pages existed before 2017. Like, almost a decade before.
So much of this post feels like alternate history and gloating. Its cool that he wrote a wrapper around an existing library, but his main argument is that C will still be around in "the upcoming decades." Im willing to bet money on Hugo/go existing and still working too -- or any number of other static-site generators.
edit: This can all be done with just pushing markdown files to github anyway. Github will automatically generate the html if you do some basic configuration in your repo.
Optionally with a better language you know what order params as passed (array_map / array_filter), but in PHP its an coin toss.
This feels very bolted on and not suited for the stdlib at all.
PHP devs should instead FIRST focus on full unicode support (no, the mb_real_uppercase wont do), and only then focus on a new namespaced stdlib with better design.
