go-zmq-chat

This is a simple chat tool to get into the Go programming language while also learning something about the ZeroMQ security features. Kudos to https://github.com/jnthnwn/zmq-chat for this simple python version.

This is under development and not finished, yet. That means you cannot chat right now, but there are some dummy clients. Next:

• Add encryption
• Split client and server commnd
• Add simple user interface
• Send/show user list
• Allow users to register names.

Disclaimer

This is one of my first Go programs. Feel free to contribute or send me some hints to improve the program.

Installation

$ go get github.com/szma/go-zmq-chat
