Habotat is a small, lightweight application server
for hosting IM services, more commonly known as
bots. Bots are small, specialized programs that
you can communicate with using an instant
messenger (IM) client. They show up in your buddy
list and are always there to do your bidding. A
simple API is provided for the creation of new
bots. The Habotat server supports run-time
deployment, so bots can be loaded into the server,
activated, rebuilt, and reloaded without requiring
a server restart.
