I think you nailed it. I wake up each morning consumed with anxiety, thinking to myself, "how do I become relevant?" Clearly, having shipped advanced multilingual typesetting capabilities to billions of users didn't do it, nor developing high performance GPU rendering algorithms, nor having made a popular programming font. But posting a language comparison to Hacker News, that should put me on the map.

Face it, your work will never be as immortal as autotools.

You also bet on wrong languages. M4 is battle-tested, stood the test of time, and is much more stable.

I thought a sense of humor and maybe a little bit of a thick skin would be required if you want to partake into April fools bashing. Who's taking oneself seriously now...

Don't let the haters get to you. You and your work are awesome.
