Advantages of Weechat over IRSSI

The biggest advantage of WeeChat over IRSSI is that WeeChat not only supports plugins written in PERL but also C, Lua, Python, and Ruby as well.

Installing Weechat

Weechat requires CMake, libgcrypt, GnuTLS to install. So install those first if you haven't.

There's also a couple of items I really won't mind getting from the Debian repo. GCrypt

cd ~/Software
curl -SL https://weechat.org/files/src/weechat-1.1.1.tar.bz2 | tar xjv
weechat-1.1.1
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && make && sudo make install && sudo ldconfig
