You may be correct on all those points but still come off as rude. And I think you're just trying to be helpful and steer people in the direction that you think is right. However, given the context of where you're doing it, it feels like someone is trying to ruin someone else's parade.

They are competing and think theirs is better. They are trying to get people to look at the competition. That’s not ruining anything for anyone

Then the discussion should have been a post unto itself, not a comment piggy-backing on another project's thread. I dunno, seems like basic netiquette to me.

But I agree that if you think your solution is better, there's really nowhere better to put it out there than in front of eyes that are looking at something similar.

Piggy backing rubs the wrong way, but sometimes there is interesting content.

Personally, I would challenge the piggybacker to show me something.

Talk is cheap.

I apologize if it felt that way.

That was not the intention but rather to showcase and make sure everyone understands the tradeoffs of each of this projects :)

As an alternative form of promotion, it might be interesting to write an article about the performance issues involved in writing a wasm engine.
