+# 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`.
