Is there a way to do a simple peer-to-peer JS chat?

Just wondering…

“simple” “peer-to-peer” “JS”

Pick two out of three?

Interesting… but I'm not sure it exactly what I'm looking for. I just want simple peer-to-peer chat, preferably with as little server interaction as possible.

I think it's the only standard way to do P2P with JavaScript.

It's not “simple”
Hence bobbybee's comment

A client to client connection would be nearly impossible. You would have to do client-server-client if you want to use JS

Actually, it is possible using WebRTC.

Doesn't webrtc still need a central server for setting up the connection?

I think so, but afterwards the chatting can still be done P2P.

No

In hypothetical MATU language, you can do

eseyP2PChat()

I would call that pretty simple

Make a programming language like that.

No

No, you can do simple peer-to-peer chat in any programming language with relatively simple peer-to-peer (and procedures).

No support!
