Esotericbot is a sophisticated, lightweight IRC bot, written in Haskell.
Esotericbot launches sub-processes to respond to commands issued by
users over IRC.
Why would you use esotericbot?
For lambdabot-4.2.2.1:
sp...@utensil:~/esotericbot$ ps e v
PID TTY STAT TIME MAJFL TRS DRS RSS %MEM COMMAND
23433 pts/3 Sl+ 0:00 0 8228 84855 33476 1.6 lambdabot
15040 pts/5 S+ 0:00 0 2171 28804 3292 0.1 ./esotericbot
I'm not insinuating that lambdabot sucks in any way, ( for lambdabot is
most excellent ) however, my hope is that esotericbot could attain equal
functionality through plugins, whilst maintaining its small memory footprint.
Esotericbot is small, designed to run on a server with
limited memory - typically running at under 5mb of private memory.
Features:
* Advanced memory and time management options, utilizing POSIX resource
management.
For example, the memory used by all child processes, can be limited -
commands be queued until the memory usage has dropped.
* Privileged channel operator commands ( Currently, can be disabled and
enabled by channel operators, without kicking. )
* Easy to add new plugins. A C library is included to make writing new
plugins/adapting programs in C easy.
* Set up through a configuration file.
* Multiple channels.
* Multi-threaded
* Lightweight, typically running at under 5mb of private memory.
Cons:
* POSIX memory management, process forking, and chroot means that
Esotericbot is POSIX only.
* Esotericbot is, due to the libraries and extensions used, restricted
to being compiled by the Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compiler.
Hm, no 'quotes' or Haskell evaluation functionality? I guess this
isn't a lambdabot killer yet!
