Interesting to see someone who is using IRC in this fashion. I personally have been an advocate of using XMPP in the same way. While IRC offers a good amount of features, XMPP provides the ability to scale and dive into multiple different realms. Just one example that comes to mind is constant updates from your XMPP bots, channels, etc. in a single location similar to Twitter, but for your development.
- arosien 16y agoYou are so enterprisey! :) We'll bridge protocols if we need to cross that, um, bridge.

- jackolas 16y agoXmpp allows you to be a bit more secure and fine tune the usage. If your client or library doesn't actually make this simpler, something has failed.
