From https://matrix.org/docs/guides/faq.html/ https://matrix.org/docs/guides/faq.html/ "IRCv3 exists and is addressing some of these issues; this is great news and we wish them well. It’s almost a contradiction in terms to get competitive between openly interoperable communication projects - we look forward to increasing the richness of Matrix<->IRC bridges as the project progresses." Why not merge the two projects or just focus on one? WebRTC seems to be a better protocol right now.
