Benchmark: Ramda vs. Lodash vs. VanillaJS

Ramda vs. Lodash vs. VanillaJS (version: 0)

Compares performance on the same task using Lodash vs two styles of Ramda vs two styles of "native" Javascript. In all cases the task is pulling "counter" property from each item in an array, filtering out odd items, squaring them, then returning those squared values that have less than two digits.

Comparing performance of: Lodash vs Ramda without relying on currying or composition vs Ramda with currying and composition vs VanillaJS functional style vs VanillaJS procedural

HTML Preparation code:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/4.17.5/lodash.min.js"></script>

Script Preparation code:

var data = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
     data.push({ counter: i });
}

function isOdd(num) {
  return num % 2 === 1;
}

function square(num) {
  return num * num;
}

function lessThanThreeDigits(num) {
  return num.toString().length < 3;
}

var expected = data.map(o => o.counter).filter(isOdd).map(square).filter(lessThanThreeDigits);

Tests:

Lodash
var result = _.chain(data) .map(d => _.get(d, 'counter')) .filter(isOdd) .map(square) .filter(lessThanThreeDigits) .value();
Ramda without relying on currying or composition
var result = R.filter(lessThanThreeDigits, R.map(square, R.filter(isOdd, R.pluck('counter', data))));
Ramda with currying and composition
var result = R.pipe( R.pluck('counter'), R.filter(isOdd), R.map(square), R.filter(lessThanThreeDigits) )(data);
VanillaJS functional style
var result = data.map(o => o.counter).filter(isOdd).map(square).filter(lessThanThreeDigits);
VanillaJS procedural
var result = new Array(); for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) { var c = data[i].counter; if (isOdd(c)) { var r = square(c); if (lessThanThreeDigits(r)) { result.push(r); } } }
