Why would you expect negative comment? .NET Core is a solid platform for web development. It's easy to deploy and relatively fast compared to the usual Python/Ruby/PHP and co... only matched by Java(controlled by Oracle) and Go(which is obnoxious). .NET Core is growing at a fast pace, and it deserves it, C# and F# are phenomenal languages.

This isn't my first rodeo with Hacker News, I've unfortunately had negative responses before when sharing my work.
Thank you for your work! I used it with a client that had a System.Drawing impl. Just making thumbnails of uploaded images. It actually was our CPU bottleneck! And then it started crashing when load was high, making us drop or reprocess (which added more load and drops...).

With your lib and a few hours of work, all that disappeared and CPU went way down. Thanks!

On a side note, users should try to send gratitude to open source authors in general. I know it's hypocritical of me, since I didn't take the time to email you before this! I've done it a few times in the past and the replies I've received indicated that I was the only one to ever thank them! That sucks. I've written some stuff I know more than a few companies built entire products and services with -- I've received about 2 notes in 6-7 years. It's not much but just a bit of thanks really provided motivation.

Cheers to you.

That's great to hear, With future updates and a little help I'm sure we can improve the performance further and make us the g0-to library.

And thanks for saying thanks, it is rare and always very much appreciated.

It's not exactly difficult to find negative comments for anything on Hacker News.
