BrowserChannel.

## Demo

clj-browserchannel-demo is an example chat application using a server
side implementation for BrowserChannel written in Clojure. The server
component is for BrowserChannel version 8.

This enables client->server and server->client communication in
ClojureScript and Closure web apps, without any javascript
dependencies other than the Google Closure [library][2].

The example runs in at least:

* Chrome
* Firefox
* Internet Explorer 5.5+ (!!)
* Android browser

## Running

You can either start it up directly from a REPL by simply running:

    (-main)

Or you can run it easily from a command line via the included Leiningen
alias to build and run everything:

    $ lein rundemo

Once the application server is running, you can then open up
http://localhost:8080/ in your browser. Open it in multiple browser
windows to see the chat communication in action.
