es1995 VS lodash

> The API matters, and readability matters.

Exactly, lodash should be part of the language. https://github.com/mlajtos/es1995

> It made the decision to extend prototypes. In hindsight, a huge mistake.

I think it was a mistake at the time, but I still believe prototypal inheritance is pretty great idea. And JS desperately needs standard library, which IMO should extend built-in prototypes, so the language would be more coherent. ES1995 [0] was a funny take on this direction, but people (mainly non-JS people) would like to seriously use it. Go figure.

(I was trying out some old school way with ES1995. I might rewrite it to TS one day.)

ES1995 agrees.

Thanks! I think we share a few aesthetic ideals :) I really like your work on L1 and New Kind of Paper, and just noticed ES1995 – if only it was true…

Let’s make sure that we can packages and run code. We will install lodash, call a function from it, and print the output.

Lodash.js is like the Swiss Army knife for JavaScript developers. Need to manipulate data structures or dabble in functional programming? Lodash is here to save the day with its arsenal of utilities. It's all about making your code cleaner and your life easier, which is probably why big guns like Google and Airbnb have it in their toolkit.

lodash - utility library enabling things like deep object comparison that aren't easy to do with javascript out of the box. docs

Lodash is a widely used JavaScript utility library that provides a plethora of functions to simplify common programming tasks. From manipulating arrays and objects to handling edge cases and implementing functional programming paradigms, Lodash offers a comprehensive toolkit for JavaScript developers. In this beginner's guide, we'll learn how to get started with Lodash and leverage its functionality to write cleaner, more efficient, and more maintainable code.

5. Lodash

If you want even more sophisticated equality checks like deep comparisons, there's the: lodash.iseQual library that'll do this for you out of the box. At least now you do have a bit of clarity on what's happening under the hood, so there's no harm in using a library.

It's also important to ensure that you're importing libraries correctly, so webpack can perform tree shaking effectively. For example, let's import lodash, as follows:

Lodash is awesome! It’s a JavaScript library that helps you do many things with data. You can use Lodash to manipulate arrays, objects, JavaScript strings, numbers, and more. It’s easy to get Lodash in your project. You can use npm or a CDN to install and import it. Here’s how:

Think of RxJS as Lodash for events.
