Ircd.js: A Node.js IRC Daemon

Bug report: nicks and channels are supposed to be compared case-insensitively (and there's some oddities due to IRC's Scandinavian origin, like '{' is uppercase '[').

OT but Anyone actively pumping out stuff for node.js? I just installed it on my slice last week; it took me about an 30-40 minutes to get through the README :| (mostly due to some missing dependencies), flipped through man, and was like wtf I'm doing. . .point being, it seemed like it'd take some serious investment to, first, figure what you're doing, and, second, to produce something interesting.<p>Coolest application I've seen come out of node.js is <a href="http://mrdoob.com/125/Multiuser_Sketchpad_HTML5" rel="nofollow">http://mrdoob.com/125/Multiuser_Sketchpad_HTML5</a>. I'd be interested in what others are doing in it; let alone, how they got about doing they wanted to do in it.

Nice job and congratulations on your progress.<p>Now, what would be really interesting is if you were to add a WebSocket layer into the server, so one could write a browser-based client that would directly interface with the IRC server without having to proxy like mibbit does.

As Alex said to me the other day "Node.js is not powered by Candyfloss and rainbows".
