- polack 6y agoYour homemade solution to do hot code reload have nothing to do with Nerves though, it's just plain Erling/Elixir. So again, what do I gain from using Nerves?
- connorrigby 6y agoThat's the beauty of Nerves in my opinion. We aren't trying to be a web framework. If that's what you want, bring it yourself. Nerves is here as a tooling for deploying your application to hardware platforms. It takes care of all the stuff that most people don't want to deal with. This means that aside from learning some basic mix tasks (`mix firmware` to assemble your firmware and `mix burn` to write it to an SD Card), you don't need to "learn Nerves" only "learn Elixir".
