Replying to myself, since I can no longer edit what I posted: I'm not advocating the developers of curl rewriting it in Rust! I think that a lot of the debate here is around a few different points, and that we're generally talking past one another. My primary concern was that the initial response seemed to disregard the vulnerabilities that can occur due to unsafe memory management. To the extent that I read people say arguments along the line of "you can only make that criticism if you write a curl replacement yourself", I felt that that was unfair.
