README

        
This is an extended version of the chat server from Simon Marlow's

[Parallel and Concurrent Programming in Haskell](http://chimera.labs.oreilly.com/books/1230000000929). I added support

for multiple chat channels, and re-implemented ```broadcast``` using a broadcast channel, to avoid a transaction

involving an unbounded number of ```TChan```s (as suggested in the chapter recap). Hopefully someone finds this code

useful.

You can buy the book at the link above, or read it online for free. Here's the relevant section:

For noobs:

```

git clone [email protected]:mitchellwrosen/haskell-chat-server-example.git

cd haskell-chat-server-example

cabal sandbox init

cabal update

cabal install --only-dependencies

cabal run

(in another terminal)

nc localhost 44444

```
