The unreasonable IRC trinity. This project consists of an IRC client, daemon,
and bot. It's all you're ever going to need for chatting, as long as you can
make do with minimalist software.
All of them have these potentially interesting properties:
They have these potentially interesting properties:
- IPv6 support
- TLS support, including client certificates
- lean on dependencies (with the exception of 'xC')
- supporting IRCv3, SOCKS, IPv6, TLS (including client certificates)
- lean on dependencies
- compact and arguably easy to hack on
- very permissive license
- maximally permissive license

This is the largest application within the project. It has most of the stuff
you'd expect of an IRC client, such as being able to set up multiple servers,
a powerful configuration system, integrated help, text formatting, CTCP queries,
automatic splitting of overlong messages, autocomplete, logging to file,
auto-away, command aliases and basic support for Lua scripting.

scripting. As a unique bonus, you can launch a full text editor from within.

- epoll/kqueue support; this means that it should be able to handle quite
a number of concurrent user connections

The IRC bot. It builds upon the concept of my other VitaminA IRC bot. The main
characteristic of these two bots is that they run plugins as coprocesses, which
allows for enhanced reliability and programming language freedom.
The IRC bot. While originally intended to be a simple rewrite of my old GNU AWK
bot in C, it fairly quickly became a playground, and it eventually got me into
writing the rest of this package.

It survives crashes, server disconnects and timeouts, and also has native SOCKS
support (even though socksify can add that easily to any program).
