underscore.js is a pretty good sized collection of utilities, which is why you call it a lot. I am having a hard time believing you're going to be constructing so many Highland streams that you need a one-character identifier for it to increase readability.
- wcummings 13y agoIf you look at the full docs, there is a lot of overlap, highland provides a lot of of the functions from underscore.js, and since from what I can tell its trying to unify the "javascript utility belt", I can only imagine more will be added.
- al2o3cr 13y ago"highland provides a lot of of the functions from underscore.js" "A lot of the functions" (versus "all of the functions") sounds like a one-way ticket to readability hell, since it means that an inattentive reader may assume the functions ARE from Underscore.
- wcummings 13y agoTo me the benefit of a convenient shorthand outweighs this, someone would figure it out really quick, seems like a non-issue. A few different libs use $ and the world doesn't end.
