Which Javascript functional library: Underscore or wu.js or Functional or ... ?

Question

I am building a node.js app and wondering which javascript lib to add to my repertoire. Current short list includes:

• Underscore
• wu
• Functional

Bonus points for something that works in the browser (so I can use it on both client and server).

Any ideas? Advice? Opinions on the above? Something else I should investigate?

Answer 1

I really like underscore.js. I use it alongside async.js, which offers async-friendly versions of many of the same functions. Both of these work in node.js AND the browser, giving you some pretty powerful tools to use across all your code.
