IRC-anything gets thumbs up from me, I always thought that IRC bots are a great way to learn a new language, just a nice project that you could do in a day that would teach you the basics of the language, string manipulation, networking and some stuff here and there, an IRC daemon is taking it a step further. This looks very nice but it really is minimal as the title claims, personally I've been working on one to learn Rust which is more featureful at this point but as it turns out the IRC protocol and server handling is much more complex once you get into the details than it normally seems for such a simple protocol.
