We use IRC at work and it's just as useful and fun as ever, there are IRC clients that consume a few megabytes (hello Slack). SET autolog ON, then keep all your chat history grep-able in your home folder (again, only consuming megabytes - oh hello Slack, again).

wee_slack.py (if you can create application tokens) works wonderfully for the same purpose.

Since everyone is really pushing slack it makes my life easier to have it natively in my favourite IRC client.

How does it manage Slack threads?

[grumple]

Can't be worse than how Slack manages Slack threads.

[dijit]

Basically as another channel. When a thread is spawned or someone comments on a thread (and checks the box to echo to channel) then you'll see a thread ID (which is usually three characters).

If you type /thread <3 chars> then weechat will open a buffer in the thread which makes it appear as if it's just another channel basically. Albeit with no name other than the randomly assigned 3 chars.
