"IRC" is a bit of a misnomer; it looks like it's web sockets connecting to a custom server, unless I missed something.

  Yes, IRC is a misnomer. It supports a limited set of IRC commands. But IRC is an easy term for hackers to relate the usecase.

  Sure it's not IRC per se, but it is persistent chat based on topic, much like IRC.
