Irssi: Excuse for me to learn perl.
Irssi++
]]>I personally prefer irssi. I tried weechat for a day recently and ultimately went right back to irssi (not a knock on weechat, I just like irssi better).
same for me here
]]>I kept getting error messages about the tcl plugin (probably because I don't have tcl installed), so I did `sudo rm /usr/lib/weechat/plugins/tcl.*`. That was kinda lame.
That's because repo WeeChat is built with tcl support but the package doesn't have tcl as a dep because it still runs even if tcl isn't installed. I run WeeChat from git anyway, mine has no tcl plugin. Which plugins to build are autodetected at compile time.
