Looks interesting, curious about the motivation for creating it and the differences / advantages over hubot? (other than the obvious different choice of language).
Perhaps I missed it, because there's plenty of documentation, which is great of course, but I somehow felt a bit overwhelmed with detail so couldn't really see the wood for the trees.
EDIT: a few key differences as far as I could spot (although not sure what's the most fundamental difference):
* plugins can be dynamically loaded (e.g. from a git url), even via the chat interface itself.
* more focus on security / permissions to administer (I'm guessing that's also partially connected to the dynamic nature of plugins, because without security it's very easy to mess things up)
* plugin eco-system seems a bit thin(?) could only find a strange list to github repos[1]
* built-in per-plugin persistence (not sure how it is actually stored though)
about the built-in per-plugin persistence: it is just python pickle based at the moment but there is some recent interest on abstracting it for other storage backends like redis (https://github.com/gbin/err/issues/478).
Very nice. I've been working on a Slack specific alternate to Hubot called Jeev. Although it's not 100% ready yet, and there are still some bugs. We use it on our company slack for quite a few things:
