    Lodash is a JavaScript utility library and data manipulation toolkit. It provides a collection of modular functions for transforming, filtering, and validating arrays, objects, strings, and numbers. The project functions as a functional programming toolkit, offering capabilities for function composition, currying, and lazy evaluation. It includes mechanisms for execution control, such as debouncing and throttling, to manage the timing and frequency of function invocations. The library covers a broad surface of data operations, including deep cloning and merging of complex nested structures,

    Lodash is a JavaScript utility library with functional programming helpers and no external dependencies, but it is not lightweight or tree-shakeable by default and lacks native TypeScript support, so it only partially meets the need for a small, modern utility library.

    Mitt is a lightweight event emitter and publish-subscribe messaging library designed for managing communication between decoupled components. It provides a minimal utility for registering, dispatching, and removing event listeners within browser and Node.js environments. The library distinguishes itself through a functional interface that maintains a small memory footprint by using function references for listener management. It supports wildcard pattern matching, allowing a single handler to respond to all emitted events, and executes callbacks synchronously to ensure predictable state updat

    Mitt is a zero-dependency event emitter library — lightweight, cross-platform, and written in TypeScript — so it fits your search for a minimal utility library, though it is specialized to event handling rather than offering broad functional programming helpers.
