  It feels like there’s 20 years of history missing between 2000 and 2019. What cool stories are hidden in those two decades? :)

  > In 2019, I joined the company wolfSSL and started offering commercial curl support and could finally work on curl full-time. Something of a dream that came true.

  Clearly a labor of love. Many of us understand this. It's the reason curl exist at this level.

  Still... I'm happy that after ~2 decades, he's able to work on this fulltime.

  Interesting bit to me is: Angular is #13 while React is #15!
