A comment on “I Could Rewrite Curl”. Parent comment
I fall firmly into "those 98%" you mention.
Dlang's stdlib (only) implementation for making network requests is quite literally a direct "curl" wrapper:
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_net_curl.html
You've changed on my mind on this being an odd design decision.
Baking in libcurl for the user (or optionally allowing them to dynamically link) if they want networking was maybe the most sane/pragmatic choice you could have made for a new language.
