Many times folks understand that values can be nullish. Libs like Lodash treat them as empty collections to avoid repetitive nullish check scaffolding.

I'm guessing after repeated use you'd abstract that into a function. Maybe even a collection of them.

The language changes too. In ES5 `Object.keys` throws an error for `Object.keys('abc')` but in ES6 it returns an array.

The kitchen sink size of Lodash is ~22kb gzipped, the core build is ~4kb gzipped, and it's modular so you can cherry-pick what you want https://github.com/lodash/babel-plugin-lodash https://github.com&#

That's generally and edge case and totally supported under the proposal by being explicit about with respect to `export`. I think being explicit about the intent of your code is a good thing after all.

Lodash source is available as a monolithic build or modules so you can take your pick. Lodash has plenty of comments (jsdoc, bug fix notes, and implementation explanations). Underscore has stripped many of these leading to devs making the s

Lodash is modular ( https://github.com/lodash/lodash/tree/4.7.0-npm ) and also provides per method packages ( https://www.npmjs.com/browse/keyword/lodash-modularized ) like padStart ( h

Lodash introduces breaking changes in major version bumps (following semver). So upgrades are optional and not pulling the rug out from underneath the feet of devs. Major releases allows the project to make corrections and avoid carrying ar

Lodash v4 has its FP module included with it: require('lodash/fp') for immutable, auto-curried, iteratee-first, data-last method modules.

Lodash renamed padding on a major version bump (which requires opting into) to better align with the ES7 proposal. Nothing was done in a way to pull the rug out from underneath folks.

Naw, I changed it on a major bump which requires opt-in and didn't pull the rug out from underneath people. As @sod pointed out the change is based on the newish ES7 proposal.

If there was ever an issue I'd work with npm to come to a resolution that didn't break 25% of npm.

Webpack 2 and Rollup don't support tree-shaking with Lodash yet. You'll need to use https://www.npmjs.com/package/babel-plugin-lodash .

Adoption is doing pretty well. In just over 2 weeks since its release lodash@^4.0.0 is in the top 50 most depended on npm packages.

Lodash v1 was a drop-in Underscore replacement. Lodash v2 was not but offered an lodash.underscore.js build. Lodash v3 dropped the compat build in favor of using individual lodash modules until you're able to transition Lodash v4 conti

It was removed because it added extra complexity for method implementations and was used very little. Folks now can use `_.bind`, or `Function#bind`, or arrow functions.

If the function is small enough, yes.

For those interested lodash provides _.curry and _.curryRight methods with placeholder support as well. See https://lodash.com/docs#curry .
