Do you have the sources for your IRC bot somewhere? I have a bot written with Ruby in a quite big channel and I have this tendency of writing it with a new language every couple of years. An IRC framework with Rust and Tokio would be fun...

I have the source, but it was more a process of me learning than something intended to be used by others. The source code is not online. It can read from a toml config and connect to multiple servers and respond to commands. It's pretty cool. I had it up at Github for a bit, I can put it back up, but this is an anonymous account so I wouldn't share it from my Github. I'm not sure how to share it. :\

Instead of writing an IRC bot, I have written an IRC client in Rust here: https://github.com/FreeFull/ircclient . Beware, I haven't put much effort into making the code clean or well documented. Writing an IRC bot would be easier than a client, because you wouldn't have to deal with reading from stdin, and you'd be able to keep everything single-threaded. The IRC library I use doesn't have any tokio support yet.
