Heh, great! And only 17 years in development! First commit: https://github.com/irssi/irssi/commit/770ae45
Three version control systems later, that commit has hints of git, svn (git-svn-id) and cvs (.cvsignore) all in one!
Good on them for fighting the good fight and not discarding history.

Right on schedule! Time to finally switch from ircII?? /s
I know it doesn't always jive with the current fad of "move fast, throw in a bunch of js and break things" where everything is obsolete by the time it's released, but there's frankly no need for irssi development to proceed at an urgent pace. The 0.x versions were perfectly usable.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
it is just a chat client why does it need to support all those languages i understand that Perl5, isn't really exciting anymore but .. i think it's ok
IRC client is useless without a certain degree of extensibility. Having a wide range of scripting language support is important IMO.
Irsii was my daily communications hero for many years.
The most underused Linux service to the rest of the community. So glad they are using this.
It's pity that Irssi only support Perl as its scripting language. In contrast, https://weechat.org/ support: Python/Perl/Ruby/lua/tcl/guile/Javascript. UPDATE: I stand corrected.

You know, sometimes there's an argument for taking the slow and steady approach. I know it doesn't always jive with the current fad of "move fast, throw in a bunch of js and break things" where everything is obsolete by the time it's released, but there's frankly no need for irssi development to proceed at an urgent pace.

Amusing blast from the past: back in the 90's I worked at General Magic, and wrote my own IRC client [1] for our handheld devices. I attached a Metricom wireless modem to the bottom of mine and could be on IRC from anywhere; it was like living in the future! /s
