spread omit
const a = { aa: 'oh', bb: 'my' }; const { aa, ...b } = a;
spread as compiled by babel

I'll break down the benchmark and explain what's being tested, compared, and the pros and cons of each approach.

**Benchmark Definition**

The benchmark is comparing three ways to remove specific properties from an object:

1. Using Lodash `omit` function
2. Using the spread operator (`...`) with destructuring
3. Compiling the second approach using Babel

**Library: Lodash**

Lodash is a popular JavaScript utility library that provides a wide range of functions for working with arrays, objects, and more. The `omit` function is used to remove specific properties from an object.

**Test Cases**

There are three test cases:

1. **Lodash `omit`**: This test case uses the Lodash `omit` function to remove the `'aa'` property from an object `{ aa: 'oh', bb: 'my' }`. The expected result is a new object `{ bb: 'my' }`.
2. **Spread operator with destructuring**: This test case uses the spread operator (`...`) with destructuring to create a new object that includes all properties except `'aa'`. The syntax is `const { aa, ...b } = a;`, where `a` is the original object.
3. **Compiled spread operator using Babel**: This test case compiles the second approach (spread operator with destructuring) using Babel to generate JavaScript that can be executed by older browsers.

**Comparison**

The benchmark compares the performance of each approach:

1. Lodash `omit`: This is a built-in function in Lodash, so it's likely to be optimized for performance.
2. Spread operator with destructuring: This approach is more concise and easier to read than using an explicit `omit` function, but it may incur a slight performance penalty due to the creation of a new object.
3. Compiled spread operator using Babel: This approach allows older browsers to execute modern JavaScript code, which can be slower than optimized built-in functions like Lodash `omit`.

**Pros and Cons**

1. **Lodash `omit`**:
	* Pros: Fast, efficient, and well-optimized.
	* Cons: Requires an external library (Lodash).
2. **Spread operator with destructuring**:
	* Pros: Concise, readable, and easy to understand.
	* Cons: May incur a slight performance penalty due to object creation.
3. **Compiled spread operator using Babel**:
	* Pros: Allows older browsers to execute modern JavaScript code.
	* Cons: Generates slower JavaScript code than optimized built-in functions.

**Other Alternatives**

If you don't want to use Lodash, you could consider alternative approaches:

1. Using the `Object.keys()` and `reduce()` methods to create a new object without specific properties.
2. Using a library like `omit` from another utility library (e.g., Underscore.js).
3. Implementing your own custom implementation for removing specific properties from an object.

Keep in mind that these alternatives may have varying performance characteristics, so it's essential to test and optimize them according to your specific use case.
