"libcurl in the real world" with Dan Fandrich. The first recording from #curl up 2026 is here.

Dan Fandrich researched how Open Source applications are using the libcurl API. Then told us about it.

@bagder just in ruby alone, ethon has ~370k dependents for example: https://packages.ecosyste.ms/registries/rubygems.org/packages/ethon
ethon | rubygems.org | Ecosyste.ms: Packages

Very lightweight libcurl wrapper.
