Writing C For Curl (daniel.haxx.se)

It is a somewhat common question to me: how do we write C in curl to make it safe and secure for billions of installations? Some precautions we take and decisions we make. There is no silver bullet, just guidelines. As I think you can see for yourself below they are also neither strange nor surprising.

The ‘c’ in curl does not and never did stand for the C programming language, it stands for client. ...

This is a excellent read, and If you work on a multi-person project, I highly recommend going through it.
