Note that the specific naming of hurl.dev is not random: hurl is a wrapper for curl, where the requests are stored in a plaintext file.

So hurl.dev didn't roll dice and got hurl, but consciously got a close sounding word.

In that sense, that makes one claim over the other a little more valid, in my mind, though you're right that clashes will have to occur.

I did get confused extra hard by the url = hurl.wtf, when hurl.dev is so close yet about different topic.
