From its release notes:\r\n>  The year was also one of collaboration, as discussions began on [merging Lodash & Underscore](https://github.com/underdash/underdash). Much of Lodash v4 is proofing out the ideas from those discussions. Lodash v4 __would not be possible__ without the input & contributions of the Underscore core team. In the spirit of merging our teams have blended with [several members](https://github.com/orgs/lodash/people) contributing to both libraries.\r\n\r\nSince the merge talks began Lodash has continued to gain ground.\r\n(Sorry for the stats dump)\r\n\r\nFrom non-core contributions (taken 2015-present):\r\n<table>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Lodash</th><th>Underscore</th>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n~131 contributions\r\n</td>\r\n<td>\r\n~96 contributions\r\n</td>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\nto repo traffic:\r\n<table>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Lodash</th><th>Underscore</th>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<img src=\"https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/4303/13024167/18ffec00-d1a6-11e5-9070-e0f2c21e15ec.png\" title=\"Click to enlarge\">\r\n</td>\r\n<td>\r\n<img src=\"https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/4303/13024180/4292dd7a-d1a6-11e5-9806-282f794984e2.png\" title=\"Click to enlarge\">\r\n</td>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\nto surveys:\r\n<table>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\nbackbone survey\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<a href=\"https://twitter.com/jdalton/status/696042215617900544\"><img src=https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/4303/13024118/809b8672-d1a5-11e5-8208-8bbdd40d5299.png width=80%>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\ndeveloper survey\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<a href=\"https://twitter.com/jdalton/status/675157693284392960\"><img src=\"https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/4303/13024130/a0d3c9ea-d1a5-11e5-9924-9f881700ce60.png\" height=60%></a>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\nto npm downloads:\r\n<table>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Lodash</th><th>Underscore</th>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<a href=\"http://npm-stat.com/charts.html?package=lodash\"><img src=\"https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/4303/13024474/0e62b774-d1aa-11e5-80bf-a03d5fd9290a.png\"></a>\r\n</td>\r\n<td>\r\n<a href=\"http://npm-stat.com/charts.html?package=underscore\"><img src=\"https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/4303/13024473/0e61af0a-d1aa-11e5-9a67-b93fe7af5527.png\"></a>\r\n</td>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\nto npm package dependents (taken today):\r\n<table>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<a href=\"https://gist.github.com/anvaka/8e8fa57c7ee1350e3491#file-01-most-dependent-upon-md\r\n\"><img src=\"https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/4303/13024267/1d06dd30-d1a7-11e5-8276-94f3ce29bd7a.png\" width=80%></a>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\nmore depend on Lodash@^3.0.0 than all Underscore versions combined (taken Jan. 12):\r\n<table>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<a href=\"https://github.com/lodash/lodash/releases/tag/4.0.0\"><img src=\"https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/4303/12280588/eb6fbdb2-b943-11e5-9726-a6aa6c14f8a6.png\" width=50%></a>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\ndependent growth compared to npm's registry growth (taken Jul. 2015):\r\n<table>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<a href=\"https://twitter.com/seldo/status/625874919876861952\"><img src=https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/4303/13024296/821b3d24-d1a7-11e5-9081-6557227f85b4.png width=85%></a>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\nand growth per month (taken Oct. 2015):\r\n<table>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\nLodash is the fastest growing npm package with ~1,000 new dependents each month\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<a href=\"https://anvaka.github.io/npmrank.vis/\">\r\n<img src=\"https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/4303/13024410/3ed8c610-d1a9-11e5-96e3-bb20174ef832.png\" width=40%></a>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\neven total commits year over year:\r\n<table>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Lodash (up 10%)</th><th>Underscore (down 65%)</th>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<a href=\"https://msit.powerbi.com/\"><img src=\"https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/4303/13025394/37512380-d1bb-11e5-9bc8-3e6b877219a4.png\" width=50%></a>\r\n</td>\r\n<td>\r\n<a href=\"https://msit.powerbi.com/\"><img src=\"https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/4303/13025393/3750bc9c-d1bb-11e5-874d-fd56ba39cf77.png\" width=\"50%\"></a>\r\n</td>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\nWith Jeremy taking a step back,\r\n<a href=\"https://github.com/jashkenas\"><img src=\"https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/4303/13025432/2b9272c8-d1bc-11e5-9eb2-e04f532ebf9b.png\"></a>\r\n\r\n& Underscore contribs like @braddunbar @jridgewell @megawac already contributing to Lodash, combined with the community/momentum behind Lodash it makes sense to continue to focus our energy on Lodash.\r\n\r\n#### TL;DR\r\nSo as to the merge I think it's already happened as Lodash v4.\r\n\r\nWe share core contributors (@jridgewell has npm publish rights for Backbone/Lodash/Underscore) & the community is with us.
