Does lodash support tree-shaking if you only import the utilities you require? Sounds like you probably don't need the obscure math Unicode bits.

  It is possible to tree-shake Lodash. If that's not practical in this case, Lodash also ships individual function packages (for example: https://www.npmjs.com/package/lodash.isequal https://www.npmjs.com/package/lodash.isequal), as an alternative to tree shaking.

    Lodash has deprecated these individual packages and they will be removed in v5: https://lodash.com/per-method-packages https://lodash.com/per-method-packages They recommend adding the main `lodash` package and then importing only the functions you need. import throttle from 'lodash/throttle`; I prefer using the `lodash-es` package for the reasons outlined in these 2 blog posts https://til.hashrocket.com/posts/dnzttruljf-prefer-lodash-es-when-using-webpack https://til.hashrocket.com/posts/dnzttruljf-prefer-lodash-es... https://itnext.io/lodash-es-vs-individual-lodash-utilities-size-comparison-676f14b07568 https://itnext.io/lodash-es-vs-individual-lodash-utilities-s...

  It's unlikely that they need lodash at all.

    I generally agree, and I actively dislike lodash in general, but getting people to stop using it hasn’t been especially fruitful and some devs/teams prefer it simply for consistency. Good luck with those particular windmills. Frickin jQuery is still in wide use.

  Even with the individual function modules being eliminated as discussed downthread, Rollup plugins are available to treat CJS as ESM and improve that tree shake.
