Simple IRC client written in Go.

Build with

go build

then run

./gossip

you might want to edit pr1.json to whatever you want:

{
"Server": "irc.network.net",
"Port": "6667",
"Nick": "yournick",
"User": "youruser",
"Channel": "#somechannel"
}

It doesn't support identification yet

• Switch from JSON to YAML for config
• Have multiple profiles you can load (no hardcoded)
• Use channels and concurrency features
• Clean code in general (decodeJSON for example)
• Delete ugly hack when asking for input
• Add support for identification
• Curated output (Colorized names, etc.)
• Curses interface (Separate output/input)
