You've written what potentially appears to be a promising library. Great! In fact, it seems so promising that people are trying to find the equivalent in the language of their choice. Even better! Why not encourage them to write a wrapper for your fine library in their language of choice? Not everyone uses Node, after all. Maybe that person asking for equivalents in Python would've written a binding if you told them "Hey, you could try to do this in pure python but because of the relative performance of my library, you might want to consider writing a binding to µws."

I doubt you are trying to harm anyone. But you're not being very helpful. You say that you've "landed on someone's holy ground" but there is a very low chance that is going on. They probably just want to get a job done, and they want to figure out if your tool's a good fit. All it takes is a little bit more thought before you type out a response.

I'm not telling you to censor yourself. I'm telling you to stop worrying about explaining yourself, and start thinking about being more helpful. I'm telling you to do it, because it will make things easier for you. You might have written the library, but other people are going to be the ones who use it. They're going to ask you questions, and you're going to think some of those questions are stupid. It's okay. But if you try to be helpful to them even if you think their questions are stupid, you'll spend far less time writing defensive comments on HN, and far more time watching adoption for your library grow, which I assume is something you may want.

Best of luck!

Thanks, I can certainly help people with questions if they need help in writing a Python wrapper. I think that would be a good solution but it would need to integrate seamlessly with the rest of their app. Posting on GitHub would be a good start in this, or Gitter.
