This has already been mentioned here. There are vulnorabilities (and a higher risk) in running javascript from unknown pages that would be required to connect to irc through the web.I'd lastly just want to mention that there are plenty of web-based, non-IRC places to find coding help and assistance. Forums, question/answer boards, and the like. IRC is great, but it's certainly not the only thing in this advanced Internet age.speaking of web-based places there are web based irc clients. like freenode has webchat.freenode.net and mibbit gives you access to many more. so even if you block irc people can use http to sort of tunnel it in a way(although i doubt stuff like dcc works using web-based clients). denying every traffic except the one you really need is a good practice so i suggest using web-based clients.
