Yeah, irssi is running perfectly fine for last 20 years, icq, msn, Skype, discord, everything comes and goes, longins/password got forgotten and lost.

But there is always that irc channel easily to get into and will be there in 20 years.

I know that I can extend my irssi client with plugins needed to preserve history, flag stuff, save in database by triggers, then export that in whatever way I want and serve to the users.

I just wish irssi supported other scripting languages. I don't particularly dislike Perl and it's not like it needs to do very complex stuff, but it'd be fun to tinker with it with my language of choice.

Use the irssi proxy and connect any scripting language or bot framework you like (that supports IRC of course)

I used to do this anyway so that I could reload the bot without reconnect spam
