In fairness to the OP he did optimize the hell out of his colorette lib, it's about 1/10th the size of the widely adopted chalk lib and performs way better. Back in the day I remember he was (rightly) complaining that the chalk author submitted PRs to get chalk used in as many libs as possible, while colorette (or whatever it was called--it has a different name before) was the technically superior solution to the problem.
- smoldesu 5y agoThen he should have made a PR, or at the very least retained the commit history to recognize the original programmer's work. That's non-negotiable, because commit history can be essential to understanding breakage in mature libraries. The fact that anyone would feel comfortable erasing it leads me to believe there's an ulterior motive.
- honzzz 5y agoIf I understand correctly, the parent is talking about the original author of the library, not the person who forked it.
- dudeinjapan 5y agoYes, this is correct, I was referring to colorette's maintainer. Sorry for confusion.
