Ok, Vinnie. Enough of the aggression. ... If you don't want my feedback because of some grudge against me, say so
There's no grudge but this is what I'm hearing: "Beast should not perform socket I/O." I don't know if its your style of speaking, or word choice but this feedback is patently absurd on the face of it. So you think users shouldn't be able to implement a web server or HTTP client using Beast? How does one even begin to respond to that? I'm going to push back considerably on statements of the form "your library shouldn't do what it does" such as yours. I want to give you the benefit of the doubt, maybe you're trying to say something else such as, the library should be presented as two separate libraries? But that's not how it sounds. Thanks
