ERC
ERC is a powerful,
modular, and extensible IRC client for Emacs.
It supports multiple channel-buffers, nick completion, keyword
highlighting, and more.
The software is written in Emacs Lisp. This makes it very easy
to extend, customise and adapt ERC to your own personal style. A
useful feature of ERC is that you can extend
the set of commands available on your IRC prompt by writing your own
short Emacs
Lisp functions.
ERC maintains a separate buffer for each open IRC channel and
direct conversation. A sophisticated mechanism is used to
indicate activity in currently hidden buffers in the mode-line, called
Channel Tracking.
