I like Zig, but it doesnt even have a HTTP client yet:

https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/2007

granted neither does C, but C has cURL, and Zig doesnt (and wont) have cURL binding:

https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/2056

This is a misrepresentation of the facts. Zig can use libcurl just as much as C can. Unlike other languages, zig does not need bindings to use C libraries. It's one of the main features.

The issue you linked is saying tht zig standard library will not introduce a dependency on libcurl.

Andy, you are a really smart and talented person

but surely you know the difference between FFI and binding?

They are not the same thing, and Zig doesnt (and wont, according to you) have cURL binding.
