# TCP client and multithreaded server in 14 lines of Ruby code

### Server:

``` ruby
require "socket"
server = TCPServer.open(2626)
loop do
	Thread.fork(server.accept) do |client| 
		client.puts("Hello, I'm Ruby TCP server", "I'm disconnecting, bye :*")
		client.close
	end
end
```

### Client:

``` ruby
require "socket"
s = TCPSocket.open("localhost", 2626)
while line = s.gets
	puts "received : #{line.chop}"
end
s.close
```

## .. but can be minified to 7 lines without using instruction terminator ";"
.. just 4 fun ;)
