To see if they can? This is HN after all :)
In the spirit of discussion, this article (2021) makes the argument that it would correct existing bugs in curl:
> There are 95 bugs [in curl]. By my count Rust would have prevented 53 of these [in 2021].

The curl author (Stenberg) has said:
> I don't believe in rewrites, no matter which language. I believe in replacing code and fixing components gradually over time. That could mean that we have a curl written mostly in rust in 10 years. Or in 20 years. Or not.
