I wonder what this would mean for hangups: https://github.com/tdryer/hangups

There's actually a surprising number of CLI implementations of popular protocols out there. I recently started using Hangups (https://github.com/tdryer/hangups) for Hangouts. And there's one for Play Music too although I can't recall its name at the moment. Only thing I'm really, really missing now is a CLI for KeePass, but I'm considering writing one myself in Go, since I've been looking for something to do for practice in Go anyway.

Even Google's moving away from XMPP (last I heard) with hangouts. I was surprised when I found out the best thing I'd get in terms of being able to talk to hangouts would be revengineering the protocol, a la hangups (https://github.com/tdryer/hangups)
