I have searched more for the example case of Gitter,
and here is some (very limited) list found at the moment:
https://gitter.im/rust-lang/rust
https://gitter.im/scala/scala
https://gitter.im/JetBrains/kotlin
https://gitter.im/nim-lang/Nim
https://gitter.im/JuliaLang/julia # this has links to SO questions also
As for chat.stackexchange.com, there seems to be some requirement
for posting comments ("Only members of The Stack Exchange
Network with at least * 20* reputation may talk here"), which might be not
preferable (?) (though it is probably designed so to avoid spam).

PS. To reply these messages, is it better for me to reply to some specific
person + [email protected] ?
