Every other week, there is someone voicing that curl is far too complex and could be rewritten on a weekend. Ok, maybe a long weekend. So far, there is a complete lack of evidence of this and the persons voicing such expert opinions usually never intend to follow up on this. If you have a shred of empathy, you can probably feel the pain such statements cause to the authors of curl and Daniel Stenberg, the inventor and decade long maintainer, in particular.
