Well, back in those days (around 1998-2002), when I was a kid at school, Eggdrop bots were a bit slow, which often became an important factor on channel wars: channel overtakes, net splits, and so on. So we (some friends and me) created our own bot (with a very simple DSL) just for fun in pure C, and it was very fast (http://davis.sourceforge.net/ http://davis.sourceforge.net/). Of course, our DSL was never as well designed as Tcl.

Haha! I didn't get much into channel wars, diplomacy got a lot further when there was always legit bandwidth kicking around. Tcl in some ways was the cause of, and solution to a lot of problems on IRC.. I ended up becoming friends with some of the people who'd try to takeover a channel I might be in and we'd realize we had more in common than not, such as how to customize those damn bots. Still have some of those friends years later, and I'm not sure if I'm the only one. Tcl feel good story.
