Happy to see IRC still going strong. While I switched to irccloud.com a couple years ago--persistent session is so nice, especially for mobile!--I used CLI clients for years before. 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…

Why but just run a bouncer like znc? I even have push notifications when I get tagged or a add a special keyword.

Does it not bother you that irccloud can see everything you type/read on IRC?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

> recently vim has added python support Sorry if this makes you feel old, but that's a literal decade ago.

IRC is great. I think I learned more about computing while "wasting time" on IRC game dev channels while I was a student than I ever did at actual university courses.

I'm also glad to see IRC still going strong. I much prefer IRC to StackExchange (not to diminish StackExchange, it's an amazing website) when looking for answers to questions. Not because I always get an answer, but when I do it's pretty quick and it's nice to have a direct conversation with the person who is helping. In addition, there are a lot of nice little channels out there that are just fun to hang out in.
