In short, it was a perfect implementation of adding support for dynamically updating scripts via NuGet for a C# port of HuBot by typing "<robotName> update-scripts". This is the standard way of managing dependencies, and would mean not having to manually upload scripts to a folder restart the bot every time you need to add or change the scripts.

The maintainer shortly thereafter attempted to do it himself his way, ended up with a bug-ridden and memory-leaking implementation that barely worked, and sits languishing in a lonely branch.

Don't make assumptions about the code you didn't see and the attitudes involved coders might have. We would have been (and still would be) more than happy to help maintain it had the bot turned out useful for us, but because it was a new project and the structure was changing constantly, attempting to fork and integrate upstream changes would have been a nightmare, so we decided to go a different direction.
