in case you too want to cross-stitch it
1. curl is not made by me alone. I lead the project, we are over a *thousand* authors in total
2. I work full-time on providing curl support to paying customers. Some would call it a business.
3. Not "a" billion people. More like 6 billion or so; every human on the globe that is Internet-connected uses things that use curl - daily.

A complete rewrite of a project has never introduced new bugs. A complete rewrite _in a new language_ is easy.

Netscape's decision to completely rewrite their browser was obviously the right one. /s
