Why the name 'underscore' or 'lodash'?
<p>Why are these libraries named after _ ?</p>

<p>Is there some significance behind it or the reason is <strong>"Just because we can"</strong>?</p>

<p>As far as i know, <strong>underscore</strong> and <strong>lodash</strong> do a lot of similar stuff. Also, both the names point to <strong>_</strong></p>

<p>Even their variable names are <strong>_</strong></p>

<p>So is there some relation of <strong>_</strong>  with the working of these libraries? Or its just a name?</p>
