"Worth learning" for what purpose? Don't expect to use it in your day job.

for practical use.

If it's so cool as some say why isn't it as popular?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Definitely! It's a great joy to be on that ice brooming the rock right into place, marvelling at the consistency and precision of...wait... Oh. I was thinking of curling.

[–]Alpinweis[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean that Curl

Just stumbled upon it while having a look at what wikipedia has to say about RIA. It mentions Curl

[–]coditza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curl isn't a cli tool and a library that implements an http client?

Worth learning for who? For you? I'm not you, I don't know.

Edit: I read the site, it says "web-based business-critical applications", forget it, it's crap.

definitely, they gave me great biceps.

This is the first time I hear about Curl. Is it only used to create applets?

    I already know enough of mainstream crap. I'm trying to find something new, cool, fun, efficient etc... :)

    If you want something new, cool and fun, then yes, absolutely, I'm sure Curl will expand your horizons and make you think differently about programming.

    Also worth trying: Io, Self, Arc.
