LLM coding assistants are a partial solution. Recently I typed

  vec4 rgb2hsv(vec4 rbg)
and a few tab-completes later it had filled in the body of the code with a correct color conversion routine. So that saved me searching for and pulling in some big-ass color library.

Most of lodash.js can be avoided with LLMs too. Lodash's loops are easier to remember than Javascript's syntax, but if your LLM just writes the foo.forEach((value, key) => {...}) for you, you can skip the syntactic sugar library.
