Comments on: IRC in Ruby still sucks? Check out Net::YAIL, the choice of a new generation https://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.

Thought you might like to see it.

This is a good thing in that I know it does what I need, but a bad thing in that it was built for my one project and not for general use.

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.
