A lot of the comments were about how stupid I was for not just
using ctypes or cffi. I tried today and both of them are
horrible. As I say in the blog post below, either they didn't
read the article (people on the internet commenting on things
they didn't even read? Shock! Horror!) or just aren't lazy
enough.

I basically just ignored any of the comments about ctypes or
cffi having looked at them briefly once like 5-10 years ago and
throwing up my hands. But I also throw up my hands a lot!
I didn't know anything about them last week, so I didn't think I
could reply properly. After looking into them today I just shook
my head a lot. It's incredible the lengths that people go to
justifying their pre-existing beliefs. At this point, I don't
know how to convince the masses if "nanomsg in Python in 4 lines
of code" isn't enough!
