Then Isaac is not for you. It will be. At some point. But you shall be welcome to try it out and help me extend and beautify it. Be aware, the code is not stellar by any measure, most likely it is very crude and a large portion of the IRC standard has not been implemented, simply because I haven't needed it yet. Oh, and a lot of concepts were borrowed from Sinatra (http://sinatrarb.com). Thanks. +You want to create an IRC bot quickly? Then Isaac is you. It will be. At some point, at least.
