Except IRC bots did not succeed and took over the world. I doubt if there is any non-technical people still using IRCs. And in terms of the features, you cannot make payments using IRC bots.
Even if IRC bots could theoretically be feature-complete, you can't judge a product by saying "oh we had this feature as well earlier, just that we didn't succeed." Having a feature and having a feature that is successful can be quite different.
Microsoft might had the concept of tablet way earlier than Apple but it was Apple that made the success around iPad.
- tigershark 10y agoHaving a successful feature doesn't mean that is the best. Apple Pay is far far better than using QR codes to pay. The stupidest gui is much quicker than a CLI on a phone. I hope that all this hype for the oldest interface in the world resurrected will collapse soon.
- chrischen 10y agoBeing able to use somethingis considered a feature. Since apple pay is only accepted at walgreens and a handful of places, it's pretty lacking om that feature.
- paradite 10y agoI am sorry but I think there are some misunderstanding here. Are you saying that China is inventing a CLI on a phone? Because that is not true. Just touch and gestures. I agree that "Apple Pay is far far better than using QR codes to pay.", less dependencies is always better.
- cholantesh 10y agoI believe they're referring to Slack, which is arguably nothing more than a browser-based IRC clone.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoI think they're referring to the recent craze about bots (or "conversational interfaces", if you want to sound smart). They've been all over the news in past few months, for some reason considered new and innovative.
