Show HN: I made a command-line Slack chat client

Honestly PHP was a breeze!

There's only a couple of things that stood out to me as suboptimal:

- PHP ncurses is not well documented beyond just function signatures. Of course, curses itself is well documented, and ncurses functions map one to one with the PHP extension, so that wasn't really that bad.

- I should have separated my classes and built a PHAR (PHP archive), but I got lazy.

- There's the portability comment I've made a few times already

But other than all that, PHP did its job perfectly. Easy to write, read, and organize.

Did you know that Slack itself is also written in PHP?

Note that this tweet clarifies that P stands for PHP and not Python or Perl: https://twitter.com/SlackHQ/status/499432194398756864
