I don't believe the OP of this post are the same person as the author of the library. Someone publishing a project isn't harmful, you don't have to use it. If someone uses it and gets burned that is their fault, not the author's. If you're making this project a dep, it's your job to vet it, especially if it's a database. Just because something is OSS doesn't mean it needs to be some polished stone that meets your standards.

I agree with you. For those same reasons it’s reasonable for HN commenters to be “pessimistic” about a library with no track record and no discernible take on why it deserves to be production ready.

The project is 2 months old and they say nothing about its readiness for production, simply that it _could_ be used for a REST backend or similar. They also say that it could be used for a quick PoC. I'm not quite understanding how either of those claims are wrong. Why are people torching a young project that someone is releasing publicly for free? Again, if you don't want to use the project, nobody is forcing you to.
