curl vs Laravel
curl started first, in 1997, 14 years before Laravel.
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 Laravel lasted
- It made PHP feel like a modern framework again: artisan, Eloquent, the docs, the people.
- Taylor Otwell as a steward plus a conference circuit is a distribution machine.
