XMPP and IRC (to my knowledge, which very well may be outdated) are quite similar - you join a room from a client, you get a nickname, maybe a few lines of history, you chat, you close your client or lose connectivity, you don’t know anymore what’s happening there.

That's not true in the case of XMPP: upon reconnecting, any modern client will request from the server enough messages to recreate the missing history (of course it's up to you/the client to put a limit to that if you want).

I think even IRC(v3) is taking that route.
