isNil & isEmpty removed

[CorentinNrd]

Hi all, I'm trying to understand why isNil and isEmpty were removed in version 10.0.0. I use them on my website, and I don't know if they will come back in a future version or if they have been permanently removed from Rambda. Can you tell me if they will come back ?

Thanks for your answer, but I can only provide clarification why these methods are removed.

I wanted to move the focus of the library to TypeScript and to include only these methods that is worth having one more import.

To me, in the context of TypeScript, small methods such as isEmpty bring very little value.

I think it is not worth to have such methods be in the library as I want to give TypeScript developers the missing tools in Functional Programming, i.e. map, mapObject, filterObject, etc.

Really sad to see so many utils removed. I've come across rambda as a lightweight ramda alternative with better typescript support. But I understand the need of changing the focus of the library.
Maybe they could still be exported from separate entry, something like rambda/utils or rambda/compat

Thanks for the input. The issue is that all small methods are connected to one another. If I return one of them, for consistency, I have to return them all.

I want to advertise this mindset, that libraries should hold something valuable. In case of isNil/isEmpty, there could be a debate do we need to have such methods in our code. I personally favor the side that we don't need them.
