tl;dr I wanted Clojure's simplicity with Lodash's flexibility, something easier to integrate into existing projects than ImmutableJS or Mori.

Function bind syntax will be controversial, so I've also included a compatibility interface, so you can use Zaphod from Babel-free JavaScript (https://zaphod.surge.sh/compat/)

As some feedback on the site's wording. It wasn't immediately clear to me that this was a javascript library that ported Clojures immutable API's. I initially thought it was support in Clojure for Javascript data structures.

I had to see the code samples before I realized.

Doesn't Ramda create new entities instead of modifying existing ones?

You might dig lodash-bound – Enables chained lodash functions with ES bind (::) syntax

Yes, the whole :: syntax sounded nice and I used it quite a while last year, but it don't believe it gets approved anymore. It's stage 0 for over a year now and nothing happend.

Yeah, so do lodash/fp and a handful of other solid libraries.

The difference is that this sticks as close as possible to Clojure's API _for data_, rather than trying to be a functional programming utility belt.

Really?

I had a few problems using lodash with Redux, because it mutated my objects.

Ah, lodash and lodash/fp are slightly different packages. https://github.com/lodash/lodash/wiki/FP-Guide

I see, thanks for the info :)
