So you feel offended on behalf of someone else?

I found the comment(s):

[REDACTED]

> I am closing this PR because it would be quicker for me to write my own bindings than explain everything wrong with it and then hope they get fixed correctly.

The funny thing is that we are talking about a vendor library, one that does actually work (I tested it as I needed curl in Odin)! Seems like the major issues were purely stylistic.

BTW "Please try to keep the original naming conventions and DO NOT change it to Odin's core convention." and "Maybe remove the CURL prefix?" are contradictory.

It is "CURLOPT" in curl.h. "OPT" seems out of place. I am not even sure what I would have named it were I to follow his advice. You?

Is that really the whole reason for this grudge? He gave you a bunch of comments to work from! I was expecting a lot less from your description.

I don't find it too hard to figure out what he meant - he doesn't want to you change the case style of procedure calls, but he _does_ want you to remove redundant namespacing as in the CURL prefix.

Maybe you could have looked at some other vendored libraries to see how they handled things like constant naming and other formatting?

I posted the link and now the PR is getting filled with comments. Lord. This is why I did not want to look for and post the link to begin with!

Some guy did ask questions I would have asked, at least.

Back to the CURL prefix, what is wrong with it? It is how it is in curl.h and without it, it looks kind of meh. What would the "CURL" distinct type be without the CURL prefix? :P

I hope I did not make a mess just by posting the URL. I will remove it. I do not need more (supposedly trolls) in there and make more of a big fuss than I did on here.

It prevents stuttering when using it `curl.CURL_*`.

`CURL` isn't a prefix there.

Take more time to think things through.

I did, thank you. Please explain why would anyone (end user of library) ever want "curl.CURL_GLOBAL_ALL", for example? If anything, it should be private. If you really want to go there, sure. I think it is YOU who should think things through. I get that you are filled with hatred, but come on man. Think. Why would anyone want to call "curl.CURL_GLOBAL_ALL" from a binding which is supposed to be used as a high-level curl library? If it is possible (I have no idea) to make it private, then it should be made private. It is not intended to be used by the users of the library, is it? The higher level functions are the ones supposed to be used by them, and they seem to be named correctly from a quick glance.

If you reply, do so without ad hominems and with some respect. Thank you.

Last question I'll answer, because you aren't doing any of this is good faith.

You mean `curl.GLOBAL_ALL`, and it's for https://curl.se/libcurl/c/curl_global_init.html

It's called trolling. He hasn't made a single productive comment.

I used the word "childish" to describe posting comments about someones personality without any references or examples, and here you are doing the same but adding Gemini to the mix... and I'm the troll? :)

I do not disagree.

I'm offended by the Gemini slop!

So there is me, jibal, who else is a troll according to you? And who is the one trying to restrict knowledge just because of trolls? I saw the questions on GitHub. They make sense and I am sure people would like to hear the answer. I know I do. Perhaps the PR guy does, too, Lord knows. I think it is unfair to everyone just because of your allegations, and kind of confirms the things that have been said, but the scope extends. Unfortunately.

What in the world... jibal was the one who called _me_ a troll, I never called anyone a troll. Lord knows what is happening in this comment section at this point.

I lost the plot, too, both on here and on GitHub. The PR got locked, too. This was not my intention, I hope it will not affect anyone, I kind of feel bad for the PR guy now. sighs. He has no idea about this mess.
