Check out Net::YAIL, the choice of a new generation http://blog.nerdbucket.com/irc-ruby-net-yail/article How can a crappy site with boring games waste more space?

I really hope to get around to some serious work on YAIL now that a few people have given me some feedback, but I'm glad to see that the early releases are proving useful.</p> Glad to hear it!

"easy to use modules for IRC and other protocols have been about for <b>other</b> languages for many years." nerdmaster, i applaud your efforts. as joe said, it might be worth looking into other implementations in other languages to get a feel for how to improve this. thanks for your work.</p> joe’s comment is noted, but i think the way he phrases the comment is a bit counterproductive and misleading. “easy to use modules for IRC and other protocols have been about for other languages for many years.” nerdmaster, i applaud your efforts. as joe said, it might be worth looking into other implementations in other languages to get a feel for how to improve this. thanks for your work.

Obviously I think it has a lot of general use cases or I wouldn’t have released it, but it’s still at its heart a library I extracted from a single project.

It's clearly not using async sockets or a proper event handler / callback system (or if it is something is very wrong somewhere). I wouldn't go raving about it just yet these type of basic functionality / easy to use modules for IRC and other protocols have been about for other languages for many years.</p> While this looks like a step forward, this still looks extremely basic.
