It was originally started so we could integrate Asciidoc parsing into GitHub's codebase without shelling out to Python (A good friend worked on Asciidoctor and I wrote another parser for reStructuredText around the same time that we never got around to implementing in the codebase). The project sort of took off from there and has flourished into this great toolkit.
