You've not convinced me why I should use your library and not write 
some ad hoc code which would be "good enough".

You've not convinced me why I should use your library and not an 
alternative, including one written in Python or PHP.

At the front of your docs, you need to have me convinced by the end 
of page 2 that there is no better library than yours, including on 
other languages. Evidence such as an excellent literature review 
covering alternatives and benchmarks between your code and 
alternatives are steps in the right direction.
