"Daniel Stenberg, Swedish Internet protocol expert and founder and lead developer of the #Curl project, speaks with SE Radio host Gavin Henry about removing Rust from Curl. They discuss why #Hyper was removed from curl, why the last five percent of making it a success was difficult"

#curl #hyper #rust

dropping hyper

The ride is coming to an end. The experiment is done. We tried, but we admit defeat. Four years ago we started adding support for an alternative HTTP backend in curl. It would use a library written in rust, called hyper.

We're changing the dates a little: we remove #hyper support from #curl already in the first release of 2025:

Is it time to drop #hyper support from #curl and call the experiment a failure?

✨ HELLO FEDIVERSE ✨

I'm working on an introductory #book about #decentralisation protocols. 🦄

It serves as a taster for different technologies, and provides you with a path forward to deepen your studies if you're so inclined.

I'll cover #ActivityPub, #Hyper, #IPFS, and #SSB. Each chapter is a brief intro and a hands-on project using #JavaScript.

The book will be CC licensed. If that sounded interesting, add yourself to the interested readers list at:
