Very true, it's why I really like deno for server side since it's trying to plug that gap with a nice out of the box standard library. Client side it does feel like something like lodash is the new jQuery and just mandatory to use everywhere.
- mst 3y agoAnd then of course you have to pick between lodash and ramda (I'd say "whichever your dependencies use" but every time I've tried to use that as a deciding factor the answer has turned out to be "both"). It's all a bit of a cambrian explosion but it at least means you run into "this awful API has been baked into core and now we're stuck with it" less often.
