> can you share some examples of where your work was duplicated instead of built upon?

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.
