hi, this is aiden

around 2 yrs ago, i messed up benchmarks in the past with million v1. i'm sorry about putting out false information. once the reddit post came out i stopped working/advertising million entirely. i then spent 3 months redesigning the entire library. i tried my best to make it as fast as possible and accurate. benchmarks are real now, see here: https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/current.ht...

Fair enough! Your levelheaded response gives me hope.
People make mistakes, and should hopefully learn from them, but it's not right to comment with nothing but dug up dirt, especially with such a negative accusation of malice, while they try and move on.
The GP said the OP misrepresented their benchmarks before. It's good context and the rest of the Reddit thread is also informative.

"Lie" is a bit edgey but I think adults should be able to stomach a little sourness instead of, ironically, accusing people of dirt and malice.

> OP lied

Lying is a deliberate action. The thread you link to seems rather to expose accidental bad benchmarking and poor communication/explanation of results, probably in good faith and due to inexperience.

It seemed deliberate to me because it happened more than once. But he apologized, and as far as I'm concerned, that's that.
