Not sure if this is a dumb question but I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere.

I currently use underscore 1.8.3. Can I just swap lodash in, or is refactoring involved? I know it's a fork, and I want to move over, but was curious if anyone know off the top of their heads if a lot of work as involved.

I'll put this here just in case no one comments.

I think he actually talks about the bower package registry (not browser).

I haven't looked over the changelog/breaking changes for 4.0.0, so this may not encompass everything there, but there are a few changes you need to be aware of. How hard it is depends on which functions you use currently, but I doubt it would take more than an hour of find-replace work. They are listed here : https://github.com/lodash/lodash/wiki/Migrating The ones that affected me the most were the changes to the overloaded _.first, _.last, etc, but YMMV.

No, he has an objection to them dropping support for "bower", which is a package manager for javascript files. It does seem like a typo of "browser", so I can see where the confusion would come from.

Kudos to John-David Dalton for making such an awesome lib and being such a positive force behind it for so long! I've reached out to him multiple times on Twitter and he's always been quick to help!

He should definitely write a post on how he stays productive and motivated to work day-in and day-out on one project. Really inspiring!

I think it's time to check out a jquery alternative. My recent projects are basically only using deep copies and some semi-complex selectors. lodash + querySelector should cover pretty much everything at this point.
