Interesting project, I will give it a run. Thanks!
His comments against Hubot were probably just for getting a laugh, but I'm pretty sure that Hubot was a side project which started as an idea mostly for screwing around with NodeJS (maybe just as a learning experience.) That the project actually turned into something useful (and actually used) was probably unexpected. The same developer who created Hubot may have done this different in other circumstances. I don't know the history though.
