## Deployment

This demonstration project is deployed **On Render** here




## Overview

This project is a variation of a previous project, **Chatter**, re-implemented in **Gleam**. This version is essentially just the text chat aspect of **Omegle** (which no longer exists). It allows users to speed chat with random strangers in real-time.




## Why Re-Implement in Gleam?

I chose to re-implement this project in **Gleam** for several reasons:

- **Learning Functional Programming**: I wanted to start learning functional programming, and Gleam provides a great opportunity to do so.

- **Type Safety**: Type safety is crucial for me, and Gleam offers strong type guarantees, unlike the dynamically typed **Erlang** and **Elixir**.

- **Familiar Syntax**: As someone who enjoys the **Rust** programming language, I found Gleam’s syntax familiar, which eased my transition into functional programming.

- **Simplicity and Concurrency**: Gleam is simple to pick up and excels at creating concurrent applications.
