Writing a irc bot for the first time recently I've been writting some irc bots for my irc server,and a few channels I'm in and its honestly night and day writting a bot in discord,its just so much simplier and yet harder and other ways(mostly related to parsing the raw text,and learning how irc actually works,need to get around to reading the docs) but so much easier in otherways,mainly that I don't need everything to be asynchronous,ie I can read a file or fetch something online and so long as I don't take longer then the 300 second timeout it'll just work also their alot lighter,no need to load a whole api for a simple duck bot,or a url parser though some stuff I still need to look into mainly DCC and a better way of handling usermodes source cde to the bot if anyone cares to look through it,it needs alot of work but it is a functional base and it has next to no dependacies SOURCE CODE
