Net::YAIL is a library built for dealing with IRC communications in Ruby. This is a project I‘ve been slowly building for several years, based originally on the very messy initial release of IRCSocket (back when I first started, that was the only halfway-decent IRC lib I found). I‘ve put a lot of time and effort into cleaning it up to make it better for my own uses, and now it‘s entirely my own code.

Some credit should also be given to Ruby-IRC, as I stole its eventmap.yml file with very minor modifications.

This library may not be useful to everybody (or anybody other than myself, for that matter), and Ruby-IRC or another lib may work for your situation far better than this thing will, but the general design I built here has just felt more natural to me than the other libraries I‘ve looked at since I started my project.
