Easy-to Use Library That Helps Build Out Clean Code

I like that Underscore.js provides a good foundation for building out your JavaScript programs. It has a lot of useful utilities that make it easier to write readable, maintainable, and testable code. I dislike that it is not included by default with Node.js. It is a bit more difficult to get started with than other libraries that are included with Node.js. I am using Underscore.js to build out a number of JavaScript programs. I really like how easy it is to use Underscore.js. It makes it very

Pros
  • Easy syntax
  • Comprehensive suite provided.
  • Extremely fast when compared against previous versions
  • Very well supported across most major languages (Python/Ruby)
Cons
  • Not used widely enough in industry software yet; this seems inevitable as people become aware
  • Might be too light weight

The fact it has many methods available to use as per my requirement, I like it very much since most things are easy for me now using underscore js. Its documentation could have been better but if you know how javascript works then no matter what your question there will be an answer with this tool in hand! Nothing really bad about its usage so far, just continue working or debugging until everything gets clear to you :) It helps us easily do lot's of stuff which normally would take some time…

Pros
  • It just helps you with that and reduces a lot of time as well
Cons
  • It is good to use and I haven't faced any issue with it so far, no major issues atleast

I like how easy it was to get started with underscore, just include some files in your project directory! The documentation could be more thorough for beginners but once you've got over all those little hurdles this product has been very helpful when working within nodejs projects/projects involving multiple languages (ejmascript / php). It's great being able use these functions outside their intended purposes as well which can sometimes cause problems elsewhere if not used properly enough or…

Pros
  • Fast development cycle compared against traditional frameworks that require lots investment upfront prior even starting coding work.
Cons
  • Secret

Great library that enables cross-platform usage

In my opinion, this tool has been very helpful for me in terms of web development because it’s an easy way to get started using javascript at all which makes us more flexible since we can take things from other languages like Ruby or Python if needed. The only thing I don't really love about underscore js is how difficult its documentation is compared with jQuery docs. But overall I think its still better than most libraries out there. It's great because you can mix multiple types of…

Pros
  • I like how easy it is to use, and how it is built on top of other popular javascript libraries such as jQuery
Cons
  • I find it hard to understand everything
