For now I suggest using lodash functions exported as modules.

For example: https://www.npmjs.com/package/lodash.mean

Or, in light of `left-pad`: https://www.npmjs.com/package/lodash.padstart

You get the benefit of a "small, focused" module but still rely on a large and stable project with a great maintainer that cares about performance and testability.
