Script Preparation code:

var elements = [{ test: 1 }, { test: 2 }, { test: 3 }, { test: 4 }];
var status = "PENDING";
var SUCCESS = "SUCCESS";
var FAILED = "FAILED";

Tests:

Ramda
const ramda = R.equals(R.length(elements), 0) || (RA.notEqual(status, SUCCESS) && RA.notEqual(status, FAILED));
Vanilla
const vanilla = elements.length === 0 || ((status !== SUCCESS) && (status !== FAILED))

Let's break down the benchmark definition and individual test cases to understand what is being tested.

**Benchmark Definition**

The benchmark definition specifies two approaches:

1. **Vanilla JavaScript**: This approach uses native JavaScript functions without any external libraries or helpers.
2. **Ramda JavaScript**: This approach uses Ramda, a functional programming library for JavaScript.

The benchmark tests the following conditions using both approaches:

* `R.equals(R.length(elements), 0) || (RA.notEqual(status, SUCCESS) && RA.notEqual(status, FAILED))`:
	+ Using Ramda: Checks if the length of the `elements` array is equal to 0. If not, it checks if the `status` variable is not equal to `SUCCESS` and also not equal to `FAILED`.
	+ Using Vanilla JavaScript: Checks if the length of the `elements` array is equal to 0 using the `===` operator. If not, it checks if the `status` variable is not equal to `SUCCESS` and also not equal to `FAILED` using the `!==` operator.
* The benchmark uses a variable `status` with values `PENDING`, `SUCCESS`, and `FAILED`.

**Pros and Cons**

The choice between Ramda and Vanilla JavaScript depends on several factors:

* **Performance**: Using native functions can lead to slightly better performance since there are no external library dependencies to consider. However, the difference is usually negligible.
* **Readability and Maintainability**: Ramda's concise syntax can make code more readable and easier to maintain, especially for complex conditional statements.
* **Additional Functionality**: Ramda provides a wide range of useful functions for functional programming, which might not be necessary in this specific benchmark.

**Library: Ramda**

Ramda is a popular functional programming library for JavaScript that provides various functions for working with data structures, such as arrays and objects. The `R` prefix is used to denote Ramda's functions. In this benchmark, Ramda is used for its conditional statement functions (`equals`, `notEqual`) and utility functions (e.g., `RA.web.standalone.min.js`).

**Special JS Feature: None**

There are no special JavaScript features or syntaxes being tested in this benchmark.

**Other Alternatives**

If you wanted to test other approaches, you could consider:

* Using a different functional programming library, such as Lodash or Immutable.
* Implementing the conditional statement logic manually without using any external libraries.
* Testing other testing frameworks or assertion libraries, like Jest or Chai.

However, Ramda is a well-established and widely used library in the JavaScript community, making it a good choice for this benchmark.
