on_irc
An event driven IRC library for the Ruby programming language.
on_irc is Ruby 1.8.7 compatible and will remain this way. If you don't require 1.8.7 compatability, cinch is almost certainly a better option. However, if you're stuck on 1.8.7, on_irc might work for you.
Samples
See the examples directory.
Dependencies
on_irc uses the eventmachine gem.
