TCP client and multithreaded server in 14 lines of Ruby code

Server:

require "socket"
server = TCPServer.open(2626)
loop do
	Thread.fork(server.accept) do |client| 
		client.puts("Hello, I'm Ruby TCP server", "I'm disconnecting, bye :*")
		client.close
	end
end

Client:

require "socket"
s = TCPSocket.open("localhost", 2626)
while line = s.gets
	puts "received : #{line.chop}"
end
s.close

.. but can be minified to 7 lines without using instruction terminator ";"

.. just 4 fun ;)

Server:

require "socket"
server = TCPServer.open(2626)
loop { Thread.fork(server.accept) { |client| client.puts("Hello, I'm Ruby TCP server", "I'm disconnecting, bye :*") or client.close }}

Client:

require "socket"
s = TCPSocket.open("localhost", 2626)
while line = s.gets do puts "received : #{line.chop}" end
s.close
