  The first one is 157 characters, and what it is doing can be grokked at a glance, in less than 10 seconds, by a competent developer. Choosing to format the body across 5 lines for clarity does not change that. I consider that "basically" a one-liner. > What's the point of spending the time writing your own interface, implementation, and tests of every single util I would not write tests for many of these, and the interfaces usually require no design because these are familiar functions like map, filter, etc, to most experienced developers. I gave the main reasons answering your questions in my last post, and I think those reasons are powerful enough that I would consider using a lodash a mistake in most situations. You are essentially making the "leftPad" argument, it's a kind of inverse "NIH" ethos: Why should you ever write your own anything when someone else has done it? And the answer, again, is the same: dependencies have a non-trivial cost.
