title: Do lodash library methods help in improving performance?
body: <p>I was going through lodash source code and found that a simple _.get method will execute more than 10 instructions to get the value of c in <code>{a: {b: {c: 10}}}</code> whereas i can simply access c by doing <code>!!a &amp;&amp; !!b &amp;&amp; a.b.c</code>.</p>
  
  <p>The only improvement i can see between writing it my way and the lodash's <code>_get(obj, 'a.b.c')</code> is, lodash's code looks pretty.</p>
  
  <p>Should I still be preferring lodash methods over js methods?</p>
