    Has IRC been getting many new features recently? It kind of feels like the sort of thing where software can become “finished”.

      I mean yeah, Hexchat does work pretty well and is kind of finished. But it’s possible there are existing security vulnerabilities or new ones to be discovered in the future.

      IRCv3 has extended IRC quite a bit over the past decade, fixing a lot of minor pain points if clients support the fixed versions of the protocol.

      IRC keeps evolving constantly. In fact it’s one of the few protocols without a fixed spec.
