    More implementations of standard protocols is always nice!

    I see no reason for me to change from my beloved https://prosody.im/ which is more than lightweight enough already. But having options is nice, and standards only make sense when there are several implementations of them.

      totally agree, Prosody is great, and in a lot of ways, it's been a real source of inspiration.

    I saw some coding harness (OMP i think?) labeling sub-agent comms as "IRC" for the agents to use. XMPP is another one I bet AI would just understand what to use it for. I have been absorbing whether tried-and-true old tech like these are going to revive in the AI era, just because it's "locked in" in the training data. AI is going to keep some of these torches burning forever maybe.

    I remember when jabber was cool and there used to be public gateways to icq and what not.

    Looks like matrix is in this niche now.

      i remember that too. XMPP is still alive and kicking, just a lot quieter these days. :)
