Script Preparation code:

var lodash = _.noConflict();
var underscore = _.noConflict();
var array = [...Array(100000).keys()];
var key = 90000;

Tests:

Array.Prototype.find
const value = array.find(x => x === key);
Array.Prototype.findIndex
const idx = array.findIndex(x => x === key); const value = array[idx]
For loop
let value; for (let i = 0; i < array.length; i++) { if (array[i] === key) { value = array[i]; break; } }
LoDash
const value = lodash.find(array, x => x === key);
Underscore
const value = underscore.find(array, x => x === key);
