I followed the link and saw "lodash" for the first time today. Oh, it's a library! With an API! In various formats!

I always appreciate it when the top of the project page provides a one-liner explaining just what it is I'm looking at.

I wish that it had mentioned what it was a library for. Took me longer than it should have to identify that it was a Javascript library.

I probably should have guessed, but I hate guessing wrong and missing out on something I could really use.

Yeah,the doc sucks a bit because you're supposed to know it's a "fork" of underscore. They could do a better job at explaining why lodash is useful, because it definetly is.It can really reduce the amount of js code one is writing by 2 or 3.

In a nutshell it's a collection of functions that work on arrays,objects and functions.It's a toolbox.

Yep, one might think that one could manage a decent description by version 3.0.0
lol, added "JavaScript" to the description :)
