Hi guys - I have historical experience developing sofwtare for my own use. It has been quite a while since doing so and the advent of new languages has brought me here. Python has built quite a reputation. It would be fun to pick up a new language while I'm at it.
I've been a consumer of IRC since the nineties and have been running an instance of quassel core on an old laptop for the last decade. Over the years, my use of xwindows has dramatically decreased and I spend 90% of my computer time with multiple panes of tmux while I do my usual daily fun. One thing missing is a good textmode irc client that will connect to quassel core. I've seen efforts to make a plugin for weechat but, to date, I don't see much progress on that end. In your wisdom, would python be a good environment to accomplish this? I'd likely use extended ascii and colors. The point would be to minimize the memory footprint of the application. I don't use standard desktop computers anymore - I'm writing this on my beloved pi400 using emacs. Thanks Daniel -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
