		NickC_dev on March 11, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Convert curl commands to code in several languages Original author here. Many smart people have contributed code over the years, but one warrants special mention. About a year ago, verhovsky showed up out of nowhere. He rewrote the core of the application and increased the professionalism across the board. (dedicated domain, github page hosting, UI refresh, privacy improvements, and much more) The tree-sitter PR is a monster achievement: https://github.com/curlconverter/curlconverter/pull/278 Search for parseAnsiCString in there. I don't think that had ever been implemented in JavaScript before. For you, verhovsky, 10x engineer might be an understatement. Thank you!

how about C ... after all curl is just a frontend to libcurl?

Check out the `--libcurl` argument to curl.

On one hand: "Nice! This is a neat functionality and I learned something today."

On the other hand: "Oh how far have we strayed off the Unix way..."
