I think you're the only one to mention JSON or serialization at all. I do believe I already said websockets were the innovation, but they really literally did not exist 15 years ago for us to use. Elixir being distributed is nice. You still need the logic to get the change into everyone's session. You're just not using an external DB, cache layer, or work queue to do it. It's amazing, really, how people feel comfortable condescending to others who explain how we did things before the current technologies existed as if we could never grasp how the new technologies improve things. Yes, this is nice, but it's evolutionary, not revolutionary.
