Simple chat

This is a very simple chat that I did following some examples and I am trying to use what I already know about channels in go.

So the code follows basically 3 steps:

  • The main function starts a goroutine Server.start, which is responsible to know if has something to print to the users.
  • The main function runs an infinite loop to keep the chat running and verify if has new connections, it has one it calls Server.newClient
  • The newClient function store the user in a map and runs an infinite loop to check if the user wrote a message, if has messages they will be pushed on the conversation channel.

To test this code run the main.go and then open 2 sessions on the terminal and type this: telnet localhost 3000
