The project has been around for 10 years and has almost 2500 stars on Github. The creator is Chinese but working in English as a courtesy and has used this body of code to create a number of fascinating projects, including an x86 emulator.
What have you given to the programming world lately?
EDIT: it was pointed out that this last comment was abusive. Sorry about that.

Good for him. I haven't known how to program very much for very long, and am a student, but so what? Am I not allowed to mention someone breaking rules? If you look above, I gave credit where credit was due, and only mentioned this near the bottom as a reply to a relevant comment. Quit white-knighting; I'm sure the author can defend himself.

Duly noted. I was hot-headed. I apologize.

I'm sure the intentions were good, but this is outside what the community considers polite behavior. The FAQ mentions this about voting: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.
If users aren't posting qua community members then the expectation is to provide a disclaimer.

Ok, thanks. Also, awesome work; this looks very useful.
Even if this is the case, that's arguably just as much of a voting ring as bots.
