I would be pretty appreciated if people criticize my project. That is how you grow. If people tend hide cruel truth behind applause, the world would just crumbled.

My observation is that most criticism is useless, because people don't understand why you did things the way you did them.
If you explain why, they either still don't understand, or don't agree.
If the first iPhone had been presented on HN/Reddit/Twitter, everyone would criticize the lack of physical keyboard.
OP is claiming amazing results, people are poking obvious holes that good single core implementations completely rip the scalability claims to shreds. Near linear scalability is not impressive if—even at the highest throughput—the computation pales by comparison to Rust on a single core.
I do not see how the comparison to the iPhone here stands.
What you appreciate has little to do with whether we should assume others are thick-skinned. If someone has always been knocked down they will struggle to positively accept criticism regardless of how well meant it might be.
I really think I take criticism well... The problem is that people were criticizing us for not doing things that were literally done on the second paragraph. So at this point it didn't feel like productive criticism? That's like being criticized for being naked when you're full clothed. How do you even make sense of that...
People are more childish than they like to believe. It's a mix of jealousy and ignorant skepticism. What you're doing is incredibly interesting I look forward to seeing it develop!
The fact that people compile summaries of discussions from HN comments like they've extracted gold shows the level of douchebaggery.
You are doing superb. Just remind your self there are people that think Elon is incompetent despite TESLA and SpaceX.
