About:
EPIC5 is a highly extensible and programmable IRC client written in C. It allows users to automate tasks and customize behavior extensively using its built-in scripting language, making it ideal for managing complex IRC workflows and bot operations.
Key Features:
  • Powerful built-in scripting language for automation
  • Highly customizable user interface and behavior

Alternatives:
