Reviewer Prompt

Use Ruby’s built-in collection methods to write more efficient and readable code. This reduces algorithmic complexity and improves performance by leveraging optimized implementations instead of writing manual iterations or chaining multiple operations.

Specifically:

  1. Use destructive methods with exclamation points when modifying collections in-place: ```ruby

    Instead of:

    upgradeable = upgradeable.reject { |f| FormulaInstaller.installed.to_a.include?(f) }

Prefer:

upgradeable.reject! { |f| FormulaInstaller.installed.include?(f) }


2. Use array operations and splats for manipulation instead of multiple method calls:
```ruby
# Instead of:
json["old_tokens"] = (json["old_tokens"] << old_token).uniq

# Prefer:
json["old_tokens"] = [old_token, *json["old_tokens"]].compact.uniq
  1. Use Symbol#to_proc syntax with methods like map and filter_map to create more concise code: ```ruby

    Instead of:

    installed_formula_tap_names = Formula.installed.map { |f| f.tap.name } .reject { |name| name == “homebrew/core” }.uniq

Prefer:

installed_formula_tap_names = Formula.installed.filter_map(&:tap).uniq.reject(&:official?)


4. Consider memoization for expensive operations that may be called repeatedly:
```ruby
# Instead of:
def non_core_taps
  Tap.installed.reject(&:core_tap?).reject(&:core_cask_tap?)
end

# Prefer:
def non_core_taps
  @non_core_taps ||= Tap.installed.reject(&:core_tap?).reject(&:core_cask_tap?)
end

These approaches lead to faster algorithms, reduced memory usage, and more maintainable code.
