while we are talking about adding integrations to slack can one of the mods take care of setting up this: https://ekmartin.com/2015/slack-irc/ (Bridging Slack & IRC). @gjnoonan @tcrawley

@johanatan: that looks handy! I'm not really an admin though, so I'll let @gjnoonan respond

I would like to have that functionality for #C0H28NMAS and #C085AR8RE though

ya, i think it would be great to communicate with those luddites on IRC without having to actually use an IRC client

my take is the opposite, I'd much rather use my irc client for everything :)

haha

Luddite!

I like the async nature of Slack more-- history accumulates while you're offline and you can catch up later on. The whole UX is just much better IMO

I know you can set up these things for IRC too but it's too much work when Slack "just works"

unless there's more history than slack allows us

ya, that does suck. But if you check in at least once or twice per week that doesn't happen

In really chatty rooms though it can become burdensome to read every message

Which is why smaller/specific topic rooms are generally more useful to me

@johanatan & @tcrawley ☝️

if you could magically summon a programmer to work full time for a month on one open source clojure(script) library / plugin that you use, which would it be and why?

@atroche: completely dependent on who that programmer would be. Are you offering or is this completely hypothetical and off topic?

pkobrien: i'm curious about the relationship between how heavily used a project is and how well it's maintained. perhaps a better way of phrasing the question would be: which library do you use that you wish were better maintained?

also, not sure what you mean by off-topic — does #C03RZGPG1 have a set topic?
