Remove usage of lodash

[Daniel15]

Lodash is only used a few times, and all the usages seem to be pretty simple use cases that could be replaced with native functions like Array.prototype.reduce and Array.prototype.forEach. There's no point adding the weight of the entire lodash library :)

Is the weight of it that much of a problem? Keep in mind that the libraries included in JSX Control Statements don't actually get included in your app, so this will only affect the initial npm install.

Someone was requesting instructions on how to use it with babel-standalone, which is a standalone build of Babel for use in non-Node.js environments (including browsers, but also projects like ReactJS.NET and ruby-babel-transpiler). If they wanted to use it in a client-side script for whatever reason (eg. a REPL, or site like JSBin/JSFiddle), it would require bundling lodash too, adding unnecessary weight 😃

IMO lodash isn't as useful as it once was, now that arrays have a bunch of functional methods on them, and using Object.keys + the array methods tends to solve a lot of the use-cases for objects.

Ah yeah that makes sense, will look into it :).

Fixed in master.

Used lodash methods:

• forEach / forEachRight
• reduce / reduceRight
• template

Only challenge was to replace the last method. Should be included in release 3.1.0.

Nice! :)

Done in v3.1.0
