go-smallchat

This is an example of chat server program inspired by the smallchat project by antirez. For learning and practice, I wrote a version in Go language.

This project serves as a learning tool designed to understand the basics of TCP server programming and how a simple chat server can be constructed and operated.

Like smallchat, you can connect to the chat server using telnet or netcat on the default port 8080:

$ telnet localhost 8080

or

$ nc localhost 8080

Commands

• /nick <name> - Set your nickname in the chat.
• /quit - Disconnect from the chat server.
