It's helpful to have a place for users to chat. The link is to #rust-sci in the Mibbit client (the same client used for the "Mozilla IRC" link on https://www.rust-lang.org/community). Mibbit is nice because it provides a way for people to join the chat using their browser without even having to register.

The Mozilla IRC server is shutting down in the near future, so we'll need to choose something other than #rust-sci on irc.mozilla.org. It looks like #rust-sci is migrating to oftc.net (link to web chat), but let's wait a little while for things to stabilize before adding it to the README.

@bluss Shall we merge this?
It's not a breaking change, but I see no reason to keep it open, since it's just a doc change.

That channel has moved to matrix entirely, so I guess we'd like to link to matrix.

I've changed this PR to provide a link to the Matrix room and the bridged IRC room on OFTC. (It's useful to provide a link to the IRC web chat so that users who don't want to go to the effort of creating a Matrix account can still ask a quick question.) Click here to preview how GitHub renders the proposed README.
