Underscore
Sign in to saveUnderscore.js is a JavaScript library which provides utility functions for common programming tasks. It is comparable to features provided by Prototype.js and the Ruby language, but opts for a functional programming design instead of extending object prototypes. The documentation refers to Underscore.js as "the tie to go along with jQuery's tux, and Backbone.js' suspenders." Underscore.js was created by Jeremy Ashkenas, who is also known for Backbone.js and CoffeeScript.

Underscore — библиотека JavaScript, реализующая дополнительную функциональность для работы с массивами, объектами и функциями, изначально отсутствующую в javascript, но имеющую аналоги в других языках. Библиотека умеет делегировать вызовы, если какая-то функциональность реализована разработчиками браузеров.
