- yegle 10y agoIRC client is useless without a certain degree of extensibility. Having a wide range of scripting language support is important IMO.
- jimktrains2 10y agoBut you can extend it. I know that recently vim has added python support, but people used vim script to do amazing things, and look at the OS we know as emacs.
- semi-extrinsic 10y ago> recently vim has added python support Sorry if this makes you feel old, but that's a literal decade ago.
- jimktrains2 10y agogit's also over a decade old :( Man, I _am_ old.
- coldpie 10y agoI've been using IRC for over 15 years without scripting anything... I wouldn't call a client "useless" without scripting support.
