Libraries

Libraries that support functional programming

• lodash - A JavaScript utility library delivering consistency, modularity, performance, & extras.

• ramda A practical functional library for Javascript programmers.

• lazy.js Like Underscore, but lazier.

• underscore Underscore.js is a utility-belt library for JavaScript.
