pycall.rb VS Weechat

Yeah, I know there are few libraries that do similar things: pycall.rb and rb_call, and there is also rubypython, but it's not supported and doesn't work with Python 3. I used pycall to create matplotlib charts from Ruby, it's great, and I'm gonna use part of its code, type conversion implementation, for example. But I don't think it's enough, it's like a one way bridge, I want more, I want to call Python from Ruby and Ruby from Python at the same time: create an Airfow PythonOperator, invoke Ruby code inside, store some value into XCom. What about rb_call, I don't like how it's implemented at all, it starts a separate process and serializes data using MessagePack RPC, so you can't use callbacks. It's not even possible to pass a Python object as an argument or call Ruby method that requires a block. And of course it's not effective.

I have build a rails app that uses openai gem and it's working very well. For more advanced things I am exploring Pycall: https://github.com/mrkn/pycall.rb to call python functions. Don't have any experience though.

From docs. I was able to install matplotlib (without --pre):

WeeChat[0] with Bitlbee[1] supports a metric assload of services, albeit by pretending they're IRC (which does work - I spent years in weechat/irssi with bitlbee talking to various people on disparate services.)

Or if you're just after Telegram/WhatsApp, nchat[2] is ok (I can vouch for the Telegram half only.)

And UnrealIRCD still rocks. For a quick-and-dirty setup I've deploy ng-ircd but Unreal has always been my go-to for anything serious. If nothing else it can be useful as a backup or internal platform during the rare events that Slack or Discord are having an incident. The common complaint is a lack of channel back-log but it can be front-ended with TheLounge [1] or Convos [2]. I personally prefer to handle that with gnu screen or tmux and WeeChat [3].

First off, grab yourself an IRC client. On their connection info page Hackint has information for both WeeChat and Hexchat, but you could use any IRC client.

That's nothing to do with weechat? https://weechat.org/

Gajim is for XMPP. For IRC you need Hexchat or Weechat or something like that.

I am not familiar with HexChat but you might consider using a different IRC client that allows you to silence anything/everything by default and only alert you on specific keywords you are interested in. If you like command line tools, consider trying out WeeChat IRC client [1] It is very customizable and there are many scripts for it.
