While you're being more hyperbolic than most HN readers will like, I tend to agree with your point and wish you'd made it without the barbs. This package is no

While you're being more hyperbolic than most HN readers will like, I tend to agree with your point and wish you'd made it without the barbs. This package is not even a rewrite, but the implementation of a tiny, tiny subset of TeX. In addition, I've always understood (and followed this rule in my OSS work) that you don't point out weaknesses in other OSS projects as justification for your own. Apart from it being bad form, it doesn't help promote the project.

Due to its very nature I dont take anonymous internet typing too serious and sometimes I like hyperbole to start of a conversation because it cuts right through to the core bits. I totally agree with you though about talking bad about the project you literally just stole verbatim code from (text layout algo).
