A comment on Towards a More Modular Future for JavaScript Libraries.

Both awesome libraries, but I think including lodash and jquery in the list of small modules is a bit of a joke. Both are big old fashioned utility belts.

This

https://github.com/lodash/lodash/blob/master/lodash.js

is hardly the ~200 LOC module being described.

It may help rereading the post as it does explain why both are on the list.

FWIW you're linking to the pre-build dev source.

Lo-Dash is available as modules for AMD, ES6, CommonJS, Node.js, and npm packages per method.

https://npmjs.org/package/lodash-amd

https://github.com/lodash/lodash-es6

https://npmjs.org/package/lodash-node

https://npmjs.org/browse/keyword/lodash-modularized

Also, jQuery is using AMD internally and allows custom builds.

There is even a project to convert it to something more easily consumed by browserify:
