We're almost 5 years after Heartbleed. What is now the best SSL library to use?

BoringSSL if you can, otherwise most projects still keep using openssl over libressl. LibreSSL API changes were a bit too radical to be widely adopted, and mbedtls or pornin's BearSSL is too different, though much better on recent attacks.

I would summarize Google did a better job than the OpenBSD folks. Pornin's BearSSL is also extremely good.

I've used mbedtls for a few things but I don't see openssl going anywhere.
