Bored on holidays or miss Omegle? Come chat with us on MeroChat!

It’s a web based random chat where you’re presented with a flow of user profiles, whom you can choose to chat with. And of course someone else might find you the same way and send you a message out of the blue (provided your privacy settings allow it).

And here’s the code. (Written in PureScript!) A lot remains to be done but it’s a joyful thing already.

    At the bottom of the page, “Privacy Policy” is misspelled “Privacy Police”. I don’t know if you have any power to change that, but I thought I should point it out.

    Why upload duck-face pictures when you can talk about dancing plagues of the 16th century?

    Hilarious 😂 looks like you (and others?) have put some effort into this.

      I can’t take too much credit myself, but yes, effort has been put. 😄😌

    Written in PureScript

    Using a purely functional niche language like that will really prevent good developers from contributing IMO.

        You could have a multi-paradigm programming language and use FP techniques in the code. And at least in my university there was an introduction to FP and i assume that is true for most CS degree programs.

        Anyway no offence but i wonder how many of the people who upvoted you actually programmed in a purely functional programming language . i read and did the exercises for real world haskell and i don’t think purely functional programming language can create the clearest code. i can see the advantages but a language with a strong support for FP and OOP would be better IMO (Ruby?). I also can’t think of a popular FOSS project that uses a purely functional language (pandoc is an exception, but that seems like a sweet spot for FP).

        But it is a cool project and i like the endeavor.
