Loading async 2.0.0-rc.4 in Firefox (tested with 38 and 42) via

<!doctype html>

<html>
  <body>
    <script src="node_modules/async/dist/async.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

fails with the following error:

TypeError: Function.prototype.toString called on incompatible object (async.js:1425:31)

This is the corresponding line.

This has been fixed since lodash v4.8.0 (current stable is v4.12.0)
Make sure y'all build with a fresh npm i of lodash.

Oh, dist/async.js includes lodash functions? These functions seem to be outdated. Can someone please update them for providing a quick solution to the problem?

@aearly can you update the npm dist build

Thanks a lot! 👍

I wonder why the npm version also uses dist/async.js and thus does not benefit from updates to the dependencies in package.json (shouldn't they be devDependencies at the moment?). Instead, you always need to update async when lodash pushes an update – and we all know how busy @jdalton is with getting new updates out! :) Do you have any references where this decision is explained?

The discussion is kinda scattered through #996. The main reason is to minimize import time so npm doesn't have to load so many files. The reason it's a dependency still is so you can import specific methods (require('async/each')) and have it look up the dependent lodash methods properly.

I'll look into the referenced issue, thanks!

@andrenarchy search for main and you should be able to jump through the relevant discussion (core of it #996 (comment))
