when people ask "what advantage could there be to using IRC in this day and age?" ...
I just got annoyed with not finding out about build failures in CI for #fennel. I went to look to see if any chat integration was supported by my CI host, and they didn't have any. then I realized I could just write my own IRC notifier with a short script.
it's 13 lines and the only dependency is netcat, a 27kb program that you probably already have: https://p.hagelb.org/irc-announce.fnl.html
