In the defense of some of the particularly jerk-inducing ones, they're conflating libcurl with curl.

Sure if you want to fetch a file from the internet you could do it with one line (see the person I'm replying to);

I'd love to see the look on some of these people's faces when they find out that tool/software/whatever they use is actually using libcurl under the hood.

Good luck even getting on the internet in the first place without that router, switch, PC, modem or anything else that's also running curl/libcurl.

I don't know whether it's just my age showing, but thinking you could do anything remotely like curl in 3 days is .... well, my 1 year old probably talks more sense when he says "no".
