Underscorejs

I have this situation when I thought I needed to use a jQuery on my server-side script. I had problems and I cannot find a solution to them. And then I decided to try Underscore. It worked perfectly with my Nodejs server-side. Given its small size, my project was saved from being so heavy and it ran smoothly. Though this library does not have the ability to set up methods for interfaces or styling sheets with CSS, it is very useful in the functionality aspects of a project. It can be used for generally useful methods like getting tokens, saving them in an array, and manipulating them.

I admit, I was a bit hesitant to use this library before. But after checking out its documentation, I was like regretting the time I used up for other libraries. Many features of this library are very concise and useful. I actually think these features should be built into JS because of their simplicity and readability. Now I am combining it with Backbone and Coffeescript. These three make a good team up for more productivity and cleaner code. And compared to other libraries, this does not make your site heavy and bloated. Try this out for more productive coding tasks.

I use Underscore because it is very useful and well designed! My 20 or more lines of code using other frameworks can be done in 2 to 3 lines using Underscore. So it makes me produce output with lesser effort than before. And of course, shorter code means lesser bugs and more readable code. It is pretty easy to use and understand. This library makes me focus on improving other parts and features of my project. I also love how presentable my code becomes. Whenever I show it to another developer, they appreciate it and they can understand immediately.
