update to underscore v1.9.x?

[moloko]

looks like it has a few useful new additions...
http://underscorejs.org/#1.9.0

Should we move to lodash instead? .... it should be much faster than underscore.

[oliverfoster]

lodash vs all.
lodash does have much extended functionality.
underscore usage is in decline.
lodash definitely probably fully supports backbone.

Have done a quick test of Underscore v1.9.0 in FF, IE11 and iOS11 (iPad) and all seems for the OOTB content - but since I can see that a couple of bugs have already been logged against Underscore v1.9.0 we may as well wait for the v1.9.1 release just to be on the safe side

As agreed in the weekly standup let's park switching to lodash for a future major release

Ready when you are, @moloko.

[oliverfoster]

lodash vs breaks with underscore btw. i found out to my detriment the other day. no pluck only map. (i know you're not talking lodash @tomgreenfield, just wanted to say they broken the compatibility whilst i remember.)

So the idea is to go to v1.9.1?

[moloko]

@brian-learningpool that's the plan. We're currently on v1.8.3 (released April 2015!) and v1.9.1 is the latest version.

I'll give it a quick test against OOTB adapt first in a few browsers and report back, we can decide whether to proceed or not from there.
