The best bit is this excerpt from the standard library (2019):

  fn download_file(url, out string) {
      // println('\nDOWNLOAD FILE $out url=$url')
      // -L follow redirects
      // println('curl -L -o "$out" "$url"')
      os.system2('curl -s -L -o "$out" "$url"')
      // res := os.system('curl -s -L -o "$out" "$url"')
      // println(res)
  }

Here's what that file looks like today: https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/vlib/net/http/downloa...
