Nettalk is a free and open-source IRC Client for Windows. It is a fully-fledged IRC client with UTF-8 and DCC file transfer support. [2] The program is available in Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish and Swedish as of version 6.7.13.
Nettalk can manage multiple connections, the preferences of which are stored individually. This includes NickServ identities and visited channels. Nettalk completes commands, nicks and parameters automatically. Command syntax for typed in commands are displayed to the user like in modern software development environments. Commands can be searched for by their function, as well as by name. [3] Also, there is the ability to show private messages in full-screen applications, and a spell checker for German and English. Nettalk supports mouse gestures since version 6.5. [2]
The program also contains a script function. Nettalk's scripting uses a BASIC dialect, which is supported by syntax highlighting. [2]
In its review of Nettalk 6.6.5, NetzWelt.de stated, "the graphical interface makes it easy to get started with this powerful ... software". [2]

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is an application layer protocol that facilitates communication in the form of text. The chat process works on a client/server networking model. IRC clients are computer programs that users can install on their system or web based applications running either locally in the browser or on a third party server. These clients communicate with chat servers to transfer messages to other clients. IRC is mainly designed for group communication in discussion forums, called channels, but also allows one-on-one communication via private messages as well as chat and data transfer, including file sharing.

The mIRC scripting language is the scripting language embedded in mIRC, an IRC client for Windows.
Internet Relay Chat services is a name for a set of features implemented on many modern Internet Relay Chat networks. Services are automated bots with special status which are generally used to provide users with access with certain privileges and protection. They usually implement some sort of login system so that only people on the access control list can obtain these services.
An IRCd, short for Internet Relay Chat daemon, is server software that implements the IRC protocol, enabling people to talk to each other via the Internet. It is distinct from an IRC bot that connects outbound to an IRC channel.

IRC scripts are a way of shortening commands and responding automatically to certain events while connected to an IRC network. There are many different scripting languages for different types of IRC clients: ircII, BitchX, XChat, mIRC, Visual IRC, Bersirc, and others have their own scripting languages, many of which share common features and syntax and therefore are easily portable from one IRC client to another.
Colloquy is an open-source IRC, SILC, ICB and XMPP client for Mac OS X. Colloquy uses its own core, known as Chat Core, although in the past it used Irssi as its IRC protocol engine. One of the primary goals behind Colloquy was to create an IRC, SILC and ICB client with Mac OS X visuals. Colloquy contains a user interface that follows Apple's Human interface guidelines in addition to containing support for traditional IRC command-line controls such as /nick and /join.

Hollywood is a commercially distributed programming language developed by Andreas Falkenhahn which mainly focuses on the creation of multimedia-oriented applications. Hollywood is available for AmigaOS, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS, Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Hollywood has an inbuilt cross compiler that can automatically save executables for all platforms supported by the software. The generated executables are completely stand-alone and do not have any external dependencies, so they can also be started from a USB flash drive. An optional add-on also allows users to compile projects into APK files.
