curl vs Django

curl started first, in 1997, 8 years before Django.

Why curl lasted

  • It is in everything. Cars, printers, phones, install scripts, the kitchen sink.
  • Daniel Stenberg has been the steward for decades. That kind of boredom is a superpower.

Why Django lasted

  • Batteries included is still a selling point after twenty years of microframeworks.
  • The admin, the ORM, and the security defaults are why news orgs and governments still start here.
