Hey, I'm working on a template language that compiles into Redux + IncrementalDOM. Part of it involves a pipeline syntax similar to underscore or lodash. I'm wondering what you would consider a modern equivalent of those two libraries using native methods, iterators, etc. or if vanillajs is sufficient now.

If anyone wants to take a look it's at tmzt.github.io/isymtope and github.com/tmzt/isymtope

The #cleanup-symbols branch is much further along and has a mostly working TodoMvc.

Hmmm. If you're doing the compilation yourself, I'd imagine you could rely on what browsers provide these days, and compile to what you need. For the kinds of data transformations that templates tend to need, I wouldn't imagine that you'd really find a utility library to be necessary. Check out the Svelte output, for example.

Very intriguing! I'm a Redux maintainer - please feel free to ping me if you've got any questions on the Redux side of things.
