In plain words

Whapp-irc is a gateway that connects WhatsApp to IRC, allowing users to access WhatsApp conversations through an IRC client. Launched in 2019, it bridges two different messaging protocols so people can manage WhatsApp chats using traditional IRC tools. The project is open-source and hosted on GitHub. It is designed for users who prefer IRC interfaces or want to integrate WhatsApp into existing IRC-based workflows.
