Biggest pain point: wtf is lodash? I don’t care if it’s in your readme, but maybe tell us in your HN hype post
lodash is extremely common knowledge in the js/web world. you’re asking a chemist to explain atoms before sharing their big discovery

#43What I’d like is a utility library like this, but instead of it being an actual library, be it some utility that generates a single file with exports of the few functions I need. Even just something that would make copy pasting them easier. As in, I want actual zero dependencies, not even the library itself. The reason: I never want these to randomly update.
If the vendored code needs to be updated because of a change in your build tools or whatever then you’ll likely be making similar changes to other parts of your project.

No I’m asking a commercial that pops up in what I’m watching and says “ask your doctor if ciallis is right for you.” and gives no context but someone washing their tesla.
I don’t understand everything on the HN frontpage either.

Couldn't you just pin a specific version dependency? My brain says there's some way to also pin to a hash, but that would require googling and I'm on mobile.

And so if Lodash is what they’re trying to replace, is that not enough info to infer what Lodash might be?
The pharma ad comparison seems more than a little hyperbolic to me.

I really havent figured out why professional systems insist running on the bleeding edge - it’s your feet are bleeding here I believe. 10 year … 15 year old code is generally excellent if you know it through and thorough.

#50 $ node index.mjs
import { isString } from 'super-utils-plus'
^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Named export 'isString' not found. The requested module 'super-utils-plus' is
a CommonJS module, which may not support all module.exports as named exports.
You might also need to update some of your type checks to handle wrapper objects like new String() - Object.prototype.toString.call(...) is your friend.
