Curl: Hyper, is it worth it?
(curl.se)
Welcome to the Rust community! This is a place to discuss about the Rust programming language.

Hyper itself does work quite well in Rust and is the basis for the vast majority of Rust web frameworks, I just don't really see a use case for wrapping it in the curl API.
I think it's used because the author of curl is moving towards rust and doing it piecemeal. Although curl is well-tested and battle-tested, it's still written in a memory unsafe programming language, which I think was the motivation.

Well, the author of curl is the Daniel Stenberg suggesting its removal here.
Hyper was the standard for Rust web servers way before it was used by curl for anything.
That's probably why the curl author chose it.
