Lmao. Just add a big RELEVANCE? I mean why do they cite 3 random people’s opinion on random aspects of the entire concept? It’s supposed to be an encyclopedia, not a blog post…

Daniel Stenberg isn’t a random person, he is the lead developer of curl which is the backbone of quite literally every networked device on the planet and outside of it. The curl project supports a very large number of protocols. His opinion does mean something here.

That said, this does need to be clarified in the Wikipedia page, and it’s still possible that his criticism isn’t actually relevant in the end. I’m still reading about this.

  Curl isn’t the backbone of any let alone all devices on the net. Not sure where you got that.

    It was a slight exaggeration, but curl and libcurl are genuinely used pretty much everywhere. Including NASA space missions.

    Being used many places doesn’t make it the backbone of those things. It’s not a SLIGHT exaggeration
