Sure, thanks for the ping :) one of my first experiences with coding was on mIRC, and chat / communication tools have always been important in my career because I feel I can express myself better in writing form. Even though I haven't used IRC for years, Twitch (and probably other services that I'm not aware atm) use IRC as a chat platform on the web, so I built a chatbot to use in my streams. I think IRC is a very nice platform, super lightweight, and easy to parse commands and implement things on top of it...
