Websockets over http over sockets is silly. There's no point in moving a socket based protocol to a websocket; if you're going to change it, make it just use HTTP and skip the terrible hack that is websockets in the first place.

I like oragono and also wrote an ircd in go, and was inspired a bit by some of the project's code.
