Anyone know of a good and fault tolerant chat application and/or API

Question

Does anyone know of a good in-browser chat API and/or completed solution?

I'd be interested in both open source and closed source options that would have to be purchased.

Here are some ideal requirements:

Message encryption
Written in a language and/or using frameworks optimized for chat (like NodeJS / Erlang / Javascript using WebSockets, etc).
Highly fault tolerant
Embeddable in a browser with a fluid and friendly UI
Highly customizable (if a completed solution)

Thanks a ton!

Jabber/[XMPP](http://xmpp.org/) is pretty good. (Not real sure about every list item, but it's worth checking out.) — Jared Farrish, Sep 20 '11 at 23:46
