Thank you for the link. In which Daniel Stenberg says: "A rewrite of curl to another language is not considered".

  I'm reading it as saying it's not considered because it's a massive task and difficult to get it right, not because it wouldn't be worth doing.

    In this case, that’s pretty much the definition of “not worth doing”.

this is a frontend, not a rewrite
