Love the idea! About time someone did this. What's the tech stack like?

It's all emacslisp. Including the webserver (it's elnode). So there is an irc bouncer written in elisp tightly integrated with the elnode webapp. The bouncer uses a modified rcirc (built into emacs) to connect to the irc servers.

The robot framework is also written in emacslisp.

The irc servers are ngircd and the webserver is nginx.

Bomb-diggity. I saw your gravatar and immediately thought "Omy is this an el-node projet!?" Sweet.
I'm kinda surprised that people haven't picked up on that bit and asked questions. You'd have thought hackers would be interested in that bit :-)
