> It's just baseless criticism of a cool new project someone was brave enough to build and put out there
I'm not trying to criticize the project itself - I think that a 1KLOC C font rendering library is cool. (I'm not sure if it counts, but I also upvoted & starred the repo as well.)
I was criticizing a bit about the 'suckless' philosophy which aims 'simple' software, as I've seen a lot of them recently. (Hence the off topic mention.) I wasn't trying to be harsh or anything - I had good intentions when I was writing the comment. (Maybe my not-good English skills might contribute to the harsh feeling :-()
I personally find that not allowing any criticism just because it's 'free software' and is provided 'as-is' isn't really productive - why would HN exist then? To fill up with praise and applause?
