I don't want to be that guy, but.... We should probably appreciate a modern IRCd, but why, why, why wasn't this written in a memory safe language like Rust or Go? Seriously wtf, if you are starting from scratch in 2021 on a remotely accessible application why would you choose C?

They aren't starting from scratch, it's a fork of charybdis, which in turn was a fork of ircd-ratbox.

Ah, that's helpful context. I had incorrectly assumed that it was something written from scratch, which would be very notable in the IRC space.
