lol, these Slack bots give me a warm feeling.<p>IRC scripting (with mIRC) was the first real programming I did, back in 2002. I can vividly remember, that I didn&#x27;t have a clue about arrays or functions. I simply skipped over them because they seemed obscure to me. Variables I got rather fast.<p>I wrote so many chat bots. Also one like this. !seen bots were rather popular back in the days.<p>A Card-game bot, that showed you your cards via direct messages and the &quot;played&quot; in the channel.<p>I was so proud of my news-bot that used sockets to connect to channel related websites and posted news every hour or so.
