A hundred afternoons later my small application is finally completed; now I must maintain update and document it all for ever rather than relying on third party components. What I really wish is people would look closer to home; for example use some of the thousands of functions that ship with your operating system before downloading a package.



I have this problem at work with our node apps.

With things like reduce, map, the like their is less need to rely on lodash or underscore for them.


The problem with node is that it doesn't ship with a stdlib.

That being said, lodash has worked great for utility stuff. It encapsulates like 99% of utility functions I need in my apps.
