Lodash 4.0.0 is out

If I'm correct, you're showing this as a counter example to prove that the two have incompatible APIs and are thus LoDash can't be used ad a drop in replacement. However, Lodash does alias it's 'forEach' function with 'each', so this wouldn't be an issue?

underscore.each has an optional 3rd parameter (context). lodash.each does not. If you depend on that 3rd parameter, you will be in a world of pain if you drop-in lodash. In fact you'd be better off if there was no alias because you would catch the problem sooner and have to think about the API differences when fixing it.

To be fair, that context parameter has only just been removed as part of 4.0.0. Instead they recommend you change your code to be of the form:

    _.each(collection, _.bind(function, context))

Which actually seems a lot more correct than some arbitrary context parameter

How is it arbitrary? It's part of the ES spec.

I'm honestly curious why this is being removed?

Ah, I actually didn't realise this was the case, I've always used `.bind(this)` for this kind of thing.

Yeah, each and forEach are aliases in both lodash and underscore.
