//This allows us to run a function every time the WebSocket receives a message.

//In this example, this happens any time we send a message because the echo WebSocket sends our message back to us.
webSocket.addEventListener('message', function(event) {
  
  //This gets a reference to the global response messages list (array) and appends the response that comes back from the echo WebSocket
  MESSAGES().push(event.data)
  
  //This is a retool hacky thing to ensure the text actually visually updates its contents.
