IRC client is useless without a certain degree of extensibility. Having a wide range of scripting language support is important IMO.


I've been using IRC for over 15 years without scripting anything... I wouldn't call a client "useless" without scripting support.


But 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.

Sorry if this makes you feel old, but that's a literal decade ago.


git's also over a decade old :(

Man, I _am_ old.


You could, you know... learn some perl?

Devs these days, so spoiled
