  function foo (callback)
  {
    var t = window.setTimeout(function () {
      window.clearTimeout(t);
      var arr = [1, 2, 3, 4];
      callback(arr);
    }, 500);
  }

  foo((a) => {
    // a.forEach(…);
  });

But AISB, your approach at problem solving is *unwise* at best.

For example, window.setTimeout() is a host object’s method provided by Web 
browsers; it is unavailable in nodeJS, while there are other, *better* ways
to do this in nodeJS, *depending on the specific task*.
