I can understand the failure to build a critical mass of contributors, but can you share some examples of where your work was duplicated instead of built upon? I’ve read through some of your async work in the past and from an initial glance, it seemed like you had the right idea by wrapping existing event libs and exposing familiar event loop idioms. At the very least, it seemed uncontroversial so I’m interested to see why others would choose not to build upon it. |

Wookie (http://wookie.lyonbros.com/) was the main one, or at least the most obnoxious to me. I was trying to create a general-purpose HTTP application server on top of cl-async. Without naming any specific projects, it was duplicated because it (and/or cl-async) wasn't fast enough.

A superficial need for raw performance seemed to be the biggest reason. The thing is, I wasn't opposed at all to discussions and contributions regarding performance. I was all about it.
Oh well.
