Well, I wrote it, it's as simple as it gets, but nonetheless complete. It simply runs scripts in a specific directory when a command is issued and returns their output. This has the benefit that we get module (un)loading, an interface and other nifty features essentially for free, keeping the core small (~180 SLOC), clean and fast (this is Haskell after all).
Apart from that, it interacts with IRC as a bot should; answers in PM's as well as channels, joins multiple channels, rejoins on kick, lists available scripts, and runs overall stable.
The project can be found over at github (https://github.com/ibabushkin/wormbot), where development takes place. Feel free to issue comments, suggestions, bugreports etc. there or in this thread.
Furthermore, if people like it and we gather some scripts for it, which should be very easy considering the no-API approach, and the developers of Techbot and BeastBot don't oppose this decision, we might use it as the "official" bot on IRC.

The core is in haskell, the scripts/modules are in bash, mmmh.
Did you ever get to know why techbot has never replaced Beastbot for EZBot irrespective of its complexity? I am going to direct Chris1 to give you the answer and if you have hopes of bringing wormbot to the big leagues then you will have your least requirements noted when still in initial development.
Otherwise, no problem with another choice to bring to the table. I better bounce my idea of refactoring Beastbot on chris1 to get the market shares back.

ITS CAUSE I'M AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
meh........ im tired af right now and gotta headache..... ill do it later....

Techbot isn't in place because I never put it online, it us 200 times simpler than beastbot, and ezbot is closed source.

Correction: the modules are written in whatever you want as long as they are directly executable.
So you can put scripts with a shebang there or even an executable.

I have a first working version of the urban dictionary module here: https://github.com/Lenoch420/ud
The code needs cleanup work and depending on what people want some added functionality, for now it just works
I also just had the idea in mind for a minimum install script in bash which just pulls modules from git, compiles them and moves them to the scripts/ directory.

TechB, i believe you are mistaken.... BeastBot/EZBot IS OPEN SOURCE!! You should know since you have submitted code for it.
Also, it appears that TechBot is soo much simpler.... Although, this could be because it doesn't do anything......
-
Side Note: We should create a BotWar to determine the best bot, instead of everyone claiming their bot is the best.
@TheWormkill,
Your bot is super clean and the fact that it can run any module is a great added value compared to other bots that only run modules written in the same language

I completely agree. Versatility with modules is a great idea. I'll be working my way into that down the road. Occupying a lot my time learning Haskell right now.

I was mistaken, EvilBot doesn't have the code available.
Lol, there is no need to get butthurt.

My mistake..... I thought for sure you where talking about EZBot sense Evilbot is services..... :-\
Regardless.... EvilBot is open source as well... EvilBot = Anope.. Anope = Open Source....
Regardless.... I apologize for the rudeness i suppose.... :-\
