[erlang-questions] How to build web chat in Erlang?

[Jesse Gumm]

Hi Rainer,

Nitrogen has a pretty simple chat example:
http://nitrogenproject.com/demos/comet2

(see the "View Source" link to see the code that makes that page work).
Changing that page to use multiple chat rooms is about 5-6 more lines of
code.

Alternatively, you could look into Chicago Boss (go through the tutorial,
and the ways of building a chat system with it should become rather clear).

Anyway, good luck!
