BitchY IRC client - rust rewrite

Rust rewrite of BitchX IRC client

AI Analysis
●●SolidWizardryRabbit HoleNiche Gem
Rust revival of '90s IRC legend with plugin system, but IRC is a dead market.
Strengths
- •Genuine technical craft: safe Rust rewrite preserves original UX and scripting spirit
- •C ABI plugin system avoids patching C at compile time (real DX win)
- •Modern fundamentals: TLS by default, testable codebase, proper terminal UI with ANSI art
Weaknesses
- •IRC user base is tiny and aging; no evidence of active community demand
- •Early-stage: README hints at incomplete features ('weather if you are an unc' — unclear scope)
Category
Target Audience
IRC enthusiasts, nostalgic users who knew original BitchX, terminal UI developers

Post Description
I slop-resurrected an abandoned repository. I first heard about bitchx in Mr. robot series when i was very small and thought coding was cool.
LMK what features can exist or make it better and weather if you are an unc.
