Well said.
The original commenter could easily have said that "This project is sacrificing readability to be terse, and I don't think it's a good tradeoff. N.I? That's not Objective-C, and I don't know anyone that would use it in production code. Interesting experiment, but I'm not impressed."
That's not how I feel; that's just an example of how I'd have expressed his sentiment.
But I don't feel that way, because I think the reasoning behind the sentiment is flawed.
If the argument is about 'wasted development effort', I understand the arguments that effort should be directed at things that benefit a community, but this isn't a project like Meteor that reinvents package management and relegates Node.js to a component in a new platform; this is just a dude writing a module of helpers.
And if the argument is that 'no one should use this in production', well, individuals who write libraries that are in tune with their own personal taste are what a website called 'Hacker News' is about.
