From Rosetta Code

Rosetta Code has a presence on IRC.

Point your favorite IRC client to irc.freenode.net, and join #rosettacode. Mind you, there may not be anyone active. But if you stick around long enough, someone will respond.

[edit] IRC clients

You'll need to use an IRC client to connect to the IRC server.

[edit] Web Browser

You can visit Rosetta Code's IRC channel via your web browser on the Special:WebChat page.

[edit] Linux

• XChat should come with your distribution

[edit] Unix

• irssi

[edit] Windows

• mIRC is a popular Windows IRC client.
• Another choice is SilverEx XChat, a free windows build of XChat.

[edit] Windows and Linux

• Pidgin/Finch works with other chat protocols as well as IRC.

[edit] Mac

• Colloquy

[edit] Logging

Logging is stalled and has been for some time. Anyone who feels like making a logging bot should talk to people (especially Short Circuit) in the IRC channel. A complete listing of logs of the channel are available on request.

[edit] Evaluators

We have some evaluator bots for the languages on Rosetta Code. Here's how to invoke each one in the channel:

Language	Prefix	Bot
E	“eel: ”	eel
Haskell	“> ”	lambdabot
