| 34 | +## Rationale |
| 35 | +We needed to optimize the bundle size of our projects. Since we were already using ES6 and transpiling it, we decided to create a functional library that takes the native Array and String APIs used by major browsers and Nodejs, and make them *functional* - so we can `curry`, `compose`, and `pipe` them. If you are either already transpiling es6 in your project, or you are not supporting older browsers, you should use this instead of `ramda` or `lodash/fp`. If you need to support older browsers, are not transpiling es6, or using es5 - you should use `lodash/fp` or `ramda` |

41 | | -- **Pico:** weighs less than 640 bytes when minified and gzipped. |
| 38 | +- **Pico:** weighs less than 700 bytes when minified and gzipped. |
42 | 39 | - **Useful:** takes most native JavaScript array and string methods and makes them *immutable*, *curried*, and *composable*. |
43 | 40 | - **Functional:** Curry, compose and pipe, Oh My! |
44 | 41 | - **Familiar:** same names just curried and composable. See [JavaScript Array](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array) and [JavaScript String](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String). |
45 | 42 | - **Degrades Gracefully:** a small set of these functions are not available in every browser/environment. When not available in the browser it will not be available in Pico Lambda. |
