I'm not going to lie: I really would adore seeing a new generation of the IRC protocol. Maybe I'm weird. Actually, I know I'm weird. But I have more positive and longer-lasting memories of time spent on IRC even into the 2000's than any other chat program.

what would you add to IRC, theoretically speaking? I feel like anything that takes it away from text-through-a-socket would be straying from the point, but I'm interested to hear your thoughts.
This is an admittedly naïve take, but things like embedding images, watchable YouTube links, and other things could conceivably be done with the existing protocol, if only clients implemented a boilerplate level of parsing links posted by other people.

But in terms of actual protocol revisions: As I see it, something like the ability to edit sent messages is something that could be done without breaking the existing API contract.

Again, a naïve take, but it should be possible for a packet to specify an edit to a message using a hash of the initial message - which has been indelibly sent - and the delta to apply over it.
