I realize it feels crappy when applied to your own submission, but we're just doing what we always do. Take a look at where the FAQ talks about reposts—it's not as if this one's a close call.

Actually, because it's a cool project, we've bent the rules twice for it already. The last time it was posted, it had had 65 points just a few weeks earlier: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9467935, and a major thread a few months before that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8658358.

Agreed. I hadn't seen the language before and it looks very interesting. I just spent half an hour browsing the site and came back to: "where did the discussion go?"
