Hi y'all.  I don't see any Matrix client at https://suckless.org/rocks/ or 
https://suckless.org/other_projects/ and I am thinking of making one.  I use 
the Riot.im web app client which has a lot of features, but is bloated.

Do any of you know of a Matrix client that is not bloated?  I have looked at 
many of the clients at https://matrix.org/clients.  I have tried several.  Some 
of them are either too bloated, use a language I'm not crazy about, or lack 
some basic features (too immature).  

I have never used Weechat and am feeling too lazy to learn.  I expect there 
would be a lot to learn just to use it as an IRC client, then as a Matrix 
client I don't know how well it works.  I am reluctant to invest the time and 
effort (but maybe I should, I don't know).

I might write my own Matrix client.  I would probably use Lua.  C is too low 
level for my taste.  Would any of you be interested in contributing?  I expect 
I would start by writing command line interface.  CLI would be good to have, 
and I could learn a lot about implementing Matrix without being bothered by UI 
issues.  After the CLI was done, then I would consider what to do next, maybe a 
GUI, maybe a TUI, etc.
