[erlang-questions] WebSocket impl for Mochiweb

[Joe Armstrong]

Sweet.  You have a nice way of encapsulating the interface in a Fun.

Now all we need is a javascript IRC client that talks web-sockets
and a server that understands the IRC protocol, and a backend based on a DHT
(like riak) and we have a high scalable robust p2p architecture for
chat/whatever !!!

I can contribute a IRC server that is pretty basic (it's almost done)

Just need riak integration and a javascript client.
