Re: Merging in the gui branch

[Jacob Dawid]

I have seen libircclient. However, I have had a few problems with it, because mainly it is duplicating platform-independent code that is given by Qt already (QTcpSocket) and will surely not be less error-prone. Second, I would have to write the GUI myself anyways, so what's left is a thin layer of IRC (protocol) logic.

One extra thing: It is pure C. It's not that I am saying that I have any objections towards pure C, but in this case it would mean to write crappy glue code to interface with libircclient, which works with function callbacks for events for example.

What I am trying to say is that libircclient is less an option than a tradeoff.
