# Broadcast

Just a very simple implementation of a [broadcast program](https://roadmap.sh/projects/broadcast-server)
I made this program to learn about elixir, and its Actor model.
To be honest I think it's quite nice, even though a program like
this usually comes with quite a few unexpected difficulties Elixir
was able to handle it incredibly gracefully with basically no resistance.

From my first impressions I think Elixir is actually a quite capable
language for the purposes of server software - even if it doesn't have
the sheer computational speed offered by lower level languages.

As far as first impressions go for a programming language, I think that's
excellent.

## running/building

Install elixir and its build tool `mix` through your operating system's package
manager, then run `mix run`.
