Look at my program: Its a server

In the spirit of wanting to see more programs on this board, I am posting this programlet. Its the beginnings of a server so I can talk to my universe LispM program as though its a BBS through a terminal program like putty.

Please post your programs as also well too mutually also together. I would like to see them. If they are graphical or audioful or gameful or simulationful programs are preferred, but of course, post any program.

Don't forget to comment, rate and subscribe.

function svrRunLuaPromptServer(sck)
local s = svrReceive(sck)
if s ~= "" then
luaCall(s)
local err = getErrorText()
if err ~= "" then
svrSend(err, sck)
clearError()
end
-- svrSend("Ready.\n")
--svrSend("\n> ")
svrSend("> ", sck)
end
end

function svrRunEchoServer(sck)
-- echo server
local s = svrReceive(sck)
if s~="" then
clearTrace()
for i=1,#s,1 do
print(string.byte(s,i))
end
end
svrSend(s, sck)
end

function initServer()
svrStart()
print("Server started")
coroutine.yield()

print("Waiting for terminal client...")
repeat
sck1 = svrAccept()
coroutine.yield()
until svrIsValidSocket(sck1)

print("Terminal client connected.")

svrSend("You are the lua prompt terminal\n> ", sck1)
coroutine.yield()

print("Waiting for echo client...")

repeat
sck2 = svrAccept()
coroutine.yield()
until svrIsValidSocket(sck2)

print("Echo client connected.")

svrSend("You are the echo terminal", sck2)
end

function restartServer()

coroutine.resume(initServerRoutine)
end

if initServerRoutine == nil then
restartServer()
end

function update()
if coroutine.status(initServerRoutine) ~= "dead" then
coroutine.resume(initServerRoutine)
else
svrRunLuaPromptServer(sck1)
svrRunEchoServer(sck2)
end

Syntax is important because that is what the programmer's eyes are looking at whenever he's reading code. It's a perpetual overhead for visual decoding of program text. Once you start dealing more with actually writing and refactoring programs (instead of posting on crappy forums), you'll see that syntax really is all-important, and every letter saved on a frequently-used reserved word is a burden off your brain.

Clearly you have a long way to go before becoming a real programmer.
