A little off-topic, but one of the most exciting things in my mind about Phoenix LiveView [1] is that you can get some dynamic web applications and not have to navigate this JS-rendering minefield. When a LiveView page is request, the server sends over the full page as just static HTML. The JS half of LiveView then upgrades to a websocket connection, and your page becomes dynamic.
Not a good fit for everything, but it's great if you want to add some fancy form validation to, say, your landing page. You can render whatever you want with LiveView, get your fancy dynamic stuff, without having to worry about making your page more indexable.

- pmarreck 7y ago1) huge elixir/phoenix fan, glad to see you promoting this here 2) but I'm really here to commend your comment on this now-flagged post that I now cannot respond to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20500181 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20500181 . I don't know if HN mods understand the irony in deplatforming a post arguing against deplatforming, but I am 100% in agreement with you there.
