This is a simple gRPC chat server implemented in Go. It uses the gRPC framework for handling real-time communication between clients. It is one-to-one chat server, meaning that a client can send messages to another client by specifying the receiver's username.

Real-time communication: The server can handle multiple clients and facilitate real-time communication between them.

Message confirmation: The server sends a confirmation message back to the sender after successfully forwarding the message to the receiver.

Connection handling: The server handles client disconnections gracefully by removing the client from the active clients list.

The server maintains a map of active clients. Each client is identified by a unique username. When a client sends a message, the server forwards the message to the intended receiver and sends a confirmation back to the sender. If the receiver is not found in the active clients list, the server simply ignores the message.

To run the server, simply execute the main.go file:

go run main.go

The server will start and listen for incoming connections on port 8080.
