+irsc [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/hoeppnertill/irsc.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/hoeppnertill/irsc)
+=========
+
+*This repository contains code that has not been properly tested yet, continue
+at the risk of doing stupid things while discovering parts of this library
+don't work.*
+
+## Introduction
+
+Want to build an IRC bot with low resource consumption? You might want to have a look at this library (maybe later, though).
+
+This library is supposed to be a thin layer over the IRC protocol, doing all the network IO and event parsing for you. Right now, it only works, nothing more.
+
+## Example
+
+```rust
+#![feature(globs, slicing_syntax)]
+
+extern crate irsc;
+
+use irsc::server::Server;
+use irsc::color::bold;
+use irsc::event;
+use irsc::event::{ Event, ParseResult, PrivMsg };
+
+static NAME: &'static str = "rusticbot";
+static DESC: &'static str = "A bot, written in Rust.";
+
+fn callback(arg: (Server, Event)) {
+    let (mut server, event) = arg;
+    match event.command[] {
+        event::PRIVMSG => {
+            let privmsg: PrivMsg = ParseResult::parse(event).unwrap();
+            let response = format!("You wrote: {}", bold(privmsg.content[]));
+            server.msg(privmsg.from.nickname[], response[]).unwrap();
+        },
+        _ => ()
+    }
+}
+
+fn main() {
+    let mut s = Server::new();
+    s.connect("irc.freenode.org".into_string(), 6667).unwrap();
+    s.nick(NAME).unwrap();
+    s.user(NAME, "*", "*", DESC).unwrap();
+    s.join("#botzoo").unwrap();
+
+    s.msg("flan3002", "Hey there! You should probably change the nick in this README!").unwrap();
+
+    s.events.lock().register(&callback);
+
+    // Dedicate this thread to listening and event processing
+    s.listen().unwrap();
+}
+```
