It seems like the only internet protocols they didn't implement were the ones designed for chat. How could they forget about IRC, XMPP and SIP?


No SOAP, CORBA, WAP or RS232 interfaces either.


Lousy infidels snubbed the almighty telnet as well.


Tn3270 FTW!


This is because when an account generates text in a chatroom it is generally referred to as a "bot".


They can create chatrooms dynamically so no one but the user will see them.


That's wise, but how will the user protect against the host in those protos?

These can definitely be added


Or IP over Avian Carriers or HTCPCP


I'd love a deltachat bot too..


It's trivial to bind a text output with socat to a mail account or IRC with ii.


Great observation


SMTP!
