Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Robust IRC

    RobustIRC - an IRC network without netsplits, implemented in Go using the Raft consensus algorithm

  • i dont see the counterpoint here, which company has poured even a fraction of a percent into IRC as Google has with its myriad of messengers or Whatsapp/Telegram et al.

    One google engineer on his personal time introduced entirely new systems into IRC (RobustIRC) https://robustirc.net/ which is the most commercial support that exists.

    The IRCv3 initiative is a very small number of people, none of them supported commercially.
