This is in responsie to the proposial to merge underscore and lodash. There is a question about the size of the two libraries with lodash having a lot of coments that get stripped out. To try to get a more apples to apples compairison, this is what I did.
- Downloaded underscore 1.8.3 and lodash-compat 3.9.0, unminified development builds of both
- Used the very simple jsmin to remove comments in both underscore and lodash
- Use
$ jscs --fix
to create a consistant style in both
The results:
- Underscore is 587 lines at about 32K
- Lodash is 2702 lines at about 155K
