Best IRC server for programming channels? [closed]

Tags:

irc

I've always used EFnet for IRC but discovered Freenode recently. Is this the most populated server for programmers in general?

Do IRC still exist?

Today, there are still over 2,000 IRC servers and almost 500 IRC networks (groups of affiliated servers) operating worldwide.

How do I make my IRC channel private?

Set your new channel to private or secret by typing /mode #mychannel +s for secret and /mode #mychannel +p for private. If you don't mind your new channel being public, don't do anything. All new channels are automatically public.

Freenode is one of the better general purpose OSS IRC networks. For GNOME/GTK+ technologies, most people use GIMPNet (irc.gimp.net).

FreeNode is largely accepted as OSS support/discussion channels.

Channels such as #wikipedia, #ubuntu, #extjs, ##C, ##C++, ##OpenGL and more, are all programmer oriented.
