On: Kelpie — A fast and lightweight PHP web server

[waitwhat]

Honestly, if I wanted to attract users to a PHP project, I wouldn't make the entire "about" section (also the only text above-the-fold for me) solely about Ruby.

He's just explaining the concept & linage, seems fair enough to me. I don't understand the tone of this.

I would put that About info at the bottom of the page. It tells me nothing I want to know, and only confused me as to what the project was about.

Thanks for the feedback. You're absolutely right.

The project kind of goes against the spirit of PHP—most people don't write network servers in PHP. ;-)

Is it too much?

It's fine; there's nothing wrong with referencing something that's been successful elsewhere (Rack, etc.) and wanting to bring that to the PHP community.

There's several PHP micro-frameworks that reference Sinatra. It's okay.
