Thanks to @jrandolf for the original PR #325 this is based off

@lo1tuma, not be a bother, but can I get a review or update?

Hi @taymoork2, sorry for the late reply, but I was on vacation the last two weeks. I hope to find some time this week to take a closer look at this PR and rambda itself.

My first impression is it looks quite good and well maintained. Although it seems like they don’t support importing functions individually. Can you confirm this? Since we don’t use any bundle we won’t profit from thee-shaking.

@lo1tuma it's all good

From what i can see, Rambda, does not support require('rambda/'). The screenshot above show's the runtime with individually imported functions/the PR, I tested using yalp (aka npm link)

@taymoork2 I’ve also checked the result of the startup benchmark and it seems like rambda improves the performance by round about 50%, both regarding runtime duration as well as memory usage.

I’ve only found one small issue, once that is fixed I’m happy to merge this PR.

LGTM. Thank you!
