It seems quite clear that rust users use hyper but few of them want to work on making it work for a C project like curl, and among existing curl users there is virtually no interest in hyper. The overlap in the Venn diagram of the two universes is not big enough.

I generally assume utilities like curl are written in C.

curl in particular I believe stands for cURL.
